Winding Rear Stabilizer Legs

[Jack]

G'day All:

After a couple of years of struggling to wind the rear stabilizer legs of my Franklin Hunter, I found a very simple solution, which I dare say has already been thought of.

However, I thought I would share it in case someone else is still battling with an old steel rod winder or something similar.

Elegant Solution - Why not shim the outside of the extn tube to 1/2" inside and use a Cordless Drill and a 1/2 sq - 1/4 hex adaptor - "Just getting lazy in my old age."

Hi Jack,
I’m pretty sure you can still buy those winders from caravansplus.
