Now here's a clever idea

Wish I'd thought of it. Easy and so obvious

I have to disagree - some of the hard standing pitches we've been on are impossible to get a normal peg into.

I have some 'blue diamond' hard ground screw in pegs and they're great.

Wow, that woman doing the demo is a classic caravanner!

The demo doesn't make it look that seamless either.

"5 times lighter than conventional material pegs"...yes...and the weight of the drill?

I use a 4lb lump hammer: no issues on any ground

Getting them out is the harder part, though! Plus I love my cordless for my steadies as well, so much quicker especially when you stop on the way and the kids need to use the toilet or something in the caravan - 10 seconds with the drill and the rear 2 steadies are down.

I'd agree the drill is great for caravanists...but not something we MHists necessarily carry

I had steadies on my previous MH but the new one is a TAG axle so no need

One less job

My brother likes those screw-in pegs so I tried them with our mother's caravan. I have two main observations:

1. The plastic ones deform. Get the steel ones if you must have them.
2. The screw-in pegs only really work in hardcore, and the ease with which you can pull them out without having to unscrew them undermines any confidence I might have had when screwing them in. A long steel V-peg is better for storm-straps, regardless of ground. You may need a big hammer though. It's the *angle* that's the important thing. A long, wide steel V-peg, angled against the direction the strap pulls, is the most effective. In fact, I'm surprised that there's no market for really big pegs like the Isabella storm strap/peg. That little kit is very expensive. I'd have thought someone else would make/sell big steel V-pegs cheaply but the Isabella ones are still the best I've seen.

I bought 4 of these V pegs off fleabay. Not cheap but sturdy...
