Can anyone help please- I've got to fit some tie down points in the caravan as there's only me to drive and I need to get all kit and caboodle to Snet in one go.

I've already cut the back off the caravan but I need some tie down points that are flat or fold flat as the one point will be in the doorway of the caravan and I don't fancy all of us tripping up on the thing and flying out of the caravan door willy nilly :o

Does anyone know where I can buy some ? I've been to local hardware stores and can only find ring type ones but I know there are some fold flat ones about - just don't know where ?

Thanks :)

Can't get car-caravan-trailer-bike-me-kit-food-kids there otherwise - logistics nightmare - simple answer - cut the back off :lol:

:eureka: any horsebox (truck, not trailers) manufacturer would have them in stock - as would any marine supplier?

quick google search:

http://www.whb.org.uk/acatalog/Horsebox_Related_Products1.html

then type in tie ring into the search shop - and bingo, recessed tie rings - £2.69!
