Optitec Compact Double Clamp Bracket Installation

The Optitec Compact Double Clamp Brackets are designed to fit in the tightest spaces on caravan drawbars.

These Compact Clamps are only 140mm wide so they can be mounted anywhere on the chassis and are perfect for Caravans using the Weight Distribution Bars.

The OW-14 fits a chassis drawbar of between 50mm x 10mm up to 50mm x 140mm so this is ideal for all Jayco Caravans.

The OW-15 fits a chassis drawbar of 50mm x 150mm so it’s ideal for the biggest caravans

Optitec Compact Double Clamp Bracket Assembly

This Video shows the simple assembly of the OW-14 and OW-15 Compact Double Clamp Brackets.

You will only need an 18mm Ring/Open end Spanner

1. Fit each of the two Clamps to the Plate using the 4 Bolts, 4 Flat washers, 4 Spring washers making sure both clamps have the jockey wheel tightening “handle” facing the same way (so that they both “open” in the same direction) – it doesn’t matter if they both open to the front or to the back.

2. Place the two U Bolts over the Chassis Rails on your van in the spot where you wish to mount the Double Bracket.

3. Place the Double Bracket Plate over the 2 U Bolts.

4. Place a Flat Washer over each of the 4 U Bolts followed by a Spring Washer and then attach a Hex Nut to each of these 4 U Bolts

5. Tighten the Nuts using a spanner (19mm)

6. The U Bolt threaded section may need to be cut off because they are a ‘universal’ size to allow fitting to all sizes of trailer chassis.
