just a brief explanation to clarify the starting situation.
We have a parking space with a slope of about 30cm (12 inches) over a length of 6.5m (21 feet). (So, a fairly gentle slope.) A caravan will be parked on this space, and we want to pull it onto the spot using a winch. The winch will be hooked onto an eye bolt at the end of the parking space. The caravan weighs about 1.5 tons, so the hook needs to be securely fixed.
My idea was as follows:
To pour a ground anchor like this #link removed; Bauexperte into a concrete foundation. For the foundation, I was thinking of a size around 50 x 50 x 80 cm depth (20 x 20 x 31 inches), and I planned to include a handful of rebar to increase stability. The foundation should protrude about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) above the soil so the cable does not lie directly on the ground later; therefore, I would install formwork at the upper part.
Am I heading in the right direction here? Do I need to use a special type of concrete? I was thinking about #link removed; Epi concrete. Are there any more affordable alternatives to the expensive ground anchor?
Are there important tips or anything else I should know?
I would really appreciate help, as I have been dealing with this topic for a while but am worried about doing something wrong.

I would park the caravan properly with the towing vehicle, engage the parking brake, and additionally secure it against rolling with wheel chocks.

Archimedes would simply plant an olive tree and use enough pulleys to redirect the force, which would significantly reduce the effort needed. Just as a note, a pulley system reduces the force required but the weight pulling on the tree or anchor remains the same...jfkgerd schrieb:
Just to add, using a pulley system reduces the required force, but the weight pulling on the tree/anchor remains the same... Well, the force is only reduced on one side with a pulley system (the required pulling length increases accordingly), the total force on the anchor/at the “target” remains the same.
