I’m sitting here at a garage waiting for a man to bring me a new electrical line after it got snagged in the trailer and pulled the connection out from the back of the the unit. It happened when I was doing a u turn. This is the second time it’s happened in two months and it’s a bit of a pain it’s cost me two hours I should have been home.
Has anyone any advice on how to stop this from happening. I have bungee chords holding up the airlines, should I do the same on the rest of the lines?
Any help appreciated.
Carry a spare and a screwdriver but mainly do as my old boss always said and don’t screw it round. If there’s enough room to screw it round there’s enough to turn it round properly.
Anyone pulling in our yard and screwing round would be sent off with a flea in their ear. Especially if they were loaded and left tyre marks.
Don’t do U turns its the lazy mans way of turning round
But as lord of Leicester “hanky spanky” take a screw driver and repair it you broke it after all. saves a heap of time aswell
Get out of the cab and un plug from the trailer and if up to it push shunt button and remove all lines. lot easier to shunt it round than um plugging leads/sussies

So how would you turn round in a yard that has a turning circle just big enough to spin round? You have to drive in reversing in is prohibited. Please enlighten me because I’m always willing to learn…

Our yard has tyre marks all round it, there is just enough room to screw it round, I doubt it could be turned, turned as in 3 point turn. Management prefer it not to be done, but most of the time it is the only way

Exactly but don’t worry someone will be along shortly to explain how to do it…
I used to go into A seafood spot, the yard was ■■■■, just enough room to screw it round but due to wall angles,stacks of pallets etc in the yard you would never of turned it any other way. No chance. I used to pull the electrics out before doing it every time to be safe.
