Hi there help needed I have a p38 with air suspension that's working fine:). My caravan as a alko stabiliser which I have got to replace the ball for. But the problem I have is the caravan is nose high at the moment and this will raise it more. And the rear of the van will catch my drive when enter/pulling out
I have been thinking of fitting a adjustable drop plate as to lower it down.
Any one know if I can fit one or where to buy one. The towbar at the moment as for mounting holes

Many thanks
 
bit strange this, Mine has the standard LR swan neck towbar and when I hook up my caravan (winterhoff stabiliser), it sits very slightly nose up but as soon as I start the engine, it levels out. I just then lock the suspension in normal height and have no probs.

Has any work been done on your suspension as it shouln't be that high

Concerning fitting a drop plate, prsuming you have a fixed towball, as long as the drop plate is of an approved size (get one from a caravan accessory shop to be sure) you can legally fit one with no probs
 
I have got standard 16" wheels. At normal height from the ground to the top of the ball (with swan neck fitted) is 45.5cm. Mine is calibrated correctly. The handbook says tow at normal height.
