Hi
Thinking of replacing original wind down legs with Alko Dropdown corner steadies.
Any comments, pitfalls in this?

Hi
Alan
The drop down legs are great.
1 Make sure your legs are not to long for swing clearance as you need length to allow for uneven ground if van is wound up at front for levelling, rear supports are a pain if to long and have to be on a angle instead of straight up and down.
2 Make sure you carry a few roll pins as the originals have a tendency to break. (They hold the cogs for winding up and down in place) easy to replace just need a 5/32 or 4mm pin punch. The roll pins need to be 25-32mm long in 4mm or 5/32inch. Have not broken any GJ ones that have been refitted.
Cheers
Charlie
