Ahem, steamdrivenandy, some of on here are mother in laws

Ah, but I was careful to be specific and not generic.

We've just put our Puch in a similar garage. We have a slope up to it but Debbie and I managed to push it up so presumably not as steep as yours. What I did notice, and something to be careful of is when pushing it out. When going forwards, as yours will, the brake is quite awkward to operate to control the descent and you may need to exercise caution. The brake works better when reversing as it pulls itself on. I have an escape route over the front lawn if required!

Your garage door looks the same as ours and I had to adjust the level of the van using the jockey wheel as it left the garage to avoid contact with the door handle.

Also a thought, our van is close to the wall, what would happen if the tyre went flat ?

Hmm, I should have tested out her ability to push a puck up a slope before determining my choice of life partner....strangely it didn't seem to come up at the time.

I did think about the control when pushing her out of the garage, as presumably the winch ratchets work when pulling, but not releasing back down. Will have to be very careful as unfortunately no escape route! The plan is to anchor a ring to the garage floor and attach the winch to the puck hitch, so she will go in hitch first, which means that she will be reversing out.

Our garage is just the right height for clearance with about a couple of inches to spare....we did have to adjust the jockey wheel to prevent the spare wheel from catching on the lip of the slope when reversing in. Ours too is close the wall on one side....will have to use a ratchet spanner to lower the corner steadies on that side as there is not enough clearance for the long thing (no idea what its called, but you know what I mean!).

Thanks Randa, I will bear that in mind. However the last time I was at the Sidmouth festival, which is a particularly challenging site, I noted that the Dutch representatives were somewhat thin on the ground.....

They're all on the north coast.

When staying at St Agnes Beacon a few years ago a big convoy of Dutch caravanistas turned up. I'm not sure how strong the ladies were but they certainly knew how to party.

Is there any way back from this?

Que???

Holland is part of The Netherlands

The island of Texel is part of North Holland which is part of The Netherlands and has a south coast. So your both right and wrong
