@Simon I learnt from experience as well........
left Peaceful Bay, driving back to Perth, stopped in Mt Barker, as my Fairlane was playing up (again) - low and behold, I had forgotten to remove the Jockey wheel....... and it had "unwound" itself (no wonder the rear felt higher)
wore out the bearing on the inside of the wheel..... by about 20cm
was another in a long line of miss fortunes for that trip
7 pin plug got jammed turning a corner,and tore off the back of the Fairlane - sitting on the side of Roe hwy at midnight re-wiring
headlight relay blew (at 2.30am) in the hills just out of Armadale - at 90km/hour - lovely - re-wire head lights
get to North Bannister (3.30am)- everyone is freezing (WTF) I was nice and toasty - bloody great hole in the floor - blowing freezing cold air into rest of car
finally get to Peaceful Bay - rear brakes collapse
plug in camper van to power at site - blows all the fuses in the Van....... their park wiring was crap...... had to re-wire the Van
Fairlane played up at Mt Barker - dirty fuel stuffed fuel filter, cracked fuel rail for the injection.....
finally fix that, heading home, starts to rain, put wipers on, and the bloody things fall off...........snapped the crappy cast alloy spindles
2nd last time I ever took HER car instead of mine away camping...........
was without doubt the worst holiday trip we have ever had that one.....
