I used some 40 grade sand paper, then some wet and dry, then a clean over with brake pad cleaner!
All a bit of a flaff ... but I guess it protects the ball while fitting etc. Roll on a week on Friday and no snow!!!!!!!!!!

Very much a veteran caravanner ... been caravanning since I was 10 days old so more than 44 years now.
Calor Lite Propane in use ... not that we use much gas these days.

Great - wasn't sure so just thought I would mention in case you were a new caravanner and had bought the van in summer with butane. Your 44 years’ experience beat me by 10 :-) Have a great time - always wanted to go in winter as with blown central heating etc it sounds lovely so put propane (Just for the cooker as everything else electric) when I bought my latest van some 6 years ago but wife doesn't want to have to brave the cold going from the van to the shower blocks - she doesn't like to use the in-built shower :-( Anyway, the xc60 is an excellent tow beast (Had mine for 2 years now) - enjoy

Don't feel it after being up at 0530 shovelling tons of snow!
