Lifiting device for caravans

Kangaroo Creek imports (KCI) make the KCI hi-jacker. I've never used, own or seen one myself, but it is a commercially available product for this type of purpose.

RRP on their website is $255

Hope this helps.

You could weld something on top & use a cordless drill

Another option is to just use a battery powered drill with an attachment that can fit to the jockey wheel. Similar to using a drill for the rear jacks instead of the horrible 'L' shaped handle.

Rae, have a look here too, several ideas,
