Not sure if best practice, but once I've hitched the van to the car, I wind the jockey wheel down again, if it lifts the rear of the car in my mind its hitched properly?

Yup, my dad always did this and It's what I do too I don't trust the little green plastic thingy.

Always give it a quick check if you've left it unattended for any reason too, there's some dheads about who might find a detached caravan funny...
