The kit includes: four 10MM x 70MM ground anchor bolts, four M10 galvanised forged hook and hook straining screws, four 8MM galvanised commercial dee shackles, and four 1M lengths of 6MM galvanised long link chain.

Turnbuckle Screw Dia: 10MM, Body Length: 127MM (Min-Max: 218MM-310MM). Hook Opening Dia: 14MM. Dee Shackle Inside Length: 31MM, Pin Width: 7MM. Chain Length: 1M, Width: 6MM, Link Length: 53MM. Ground Bolt Thread: 10MM x 70MM.

The kit is designed to help secure your caravan in harsh stormy weather and prevent rocking. However, it is advised that additional protocols be taken, as it may not completely keep the caravan from moving or rocking in all conditions.

You can adjust the tension using the M10 hook and hook straining screws (turnbuckles). By rotating the body of the turnbuckle, you can extend or retract the hooks, thereby tightening or loosening the connected chain.

The complete kit weighs approximately 4.12KG.

This kit provides four anchor points, with each point consisting of a ground anchor bolt, a dee shackle, a straining screw, and a chain.

This kit is specifically designed for static caravans. Its suitability for touring caravans or other structures would depend on the specific requirements and anchor points available.

Ensure the ground is suitable for anchoring. If the ground is very hard, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole. For very soft ground, additional ground reinforcement or alternative anchoring methods may be needed.

Ensure the straining screws are fully extended. Check that the chains are not tangled and are attached correctly at both ends. If maximum tension is still insufficient, consider if the ground anchors are securely seated.

The galvanised coating provides protection, but some surface rust may appear over time, especially in humid or salty environments. Clean the affected areas and consider applying a protective coating suitable for galvanised steel if significant rust develops.

This can happen due to dirt or corrosion. Clean the threads thoroughly. Apply a penetrating lubricant or a light oil to the screw threads and work it back and forth to free it up. Avoid over-tightening.
