On the road

The first time you tow, spend an hour or 

so driving gently around quiet roads. Build 

your confidence by getting the feel of your 

combined vehicles.

Take each gear shift gently and allow 

the revs to build up before shifting. 

When driving downhill, use the gears in 

conjunction with your brakes.

Extra consideration is required when driving 

in wet conditions involving longer braking 

distances and slower cornering speeds.

Remember that the caravan wheels don’t 

exactly follow the car wheels; they slightly 

cut corners, so make allowances for this. 

Your caravan is wider than your car, allow 

for this when overtaking or pulling to the 

side of the road or entering gateways. 

When turning corners, travel further 

forward in a straight line before you turn, 

in order to give your van plenty of room to 

negotiate the corner.

Reversing the caravan is actually quite 

simple. The basic principal is to turn the car 

wheels in the opposite direction you would 

if the car was on its own. This will push the 

unit in the desired direction.
