C.mon all you Silver Eriba owners and Land Rover luvvers. Jazz em up.

Guess this lady from Finland's favourite colour. ( she is Sanna Leinonen and is just about to embark on a 2 month tour of Southern Europe).

I think that works, but I would say that as I've got a pair of Croc's that colour.
Do you think she should spin the jockey wheel around 180 degrees?

Colin

I thought you'd like that Colin. So do I.

Yes, don't know that it matters but I always have the jockey wheel pointing towards the rear.

I was taught to have it pointing backwards as it could be raised higher for better ground clearance and sit inside the underneath of the fairing. I think also as it is enclosed in the fairing it is less likely to rotate down whilst travelling. although this has happened to me.

Update.
I have never had a jockey wheel drop on me since I started towing trailer tents then caravans in about 1999. When I collected our current van, it dropped on the maiden voyage. It has done this a couple of times, even when tied up and the wheel has cut through the strap I used.
So I've looked up the instructions on my Alko Premium Jockey wheel and I cannot believe it, [as the well known phrase goes], it says the wheel should be pointing forwards, just like in the picture at the start of the thread.
Well I tried this and it does not work, but I've now realised it says you can remove the wheel by removing the spring loaded clips to improve ground clearance [took 10 seconds] and I can now strap the assembly up without the strap rubbing against any sharp edges. The top crank handle also comes off in a couple of seconds, so removing the chance of it spinning and things moving downwards.
