Safety
Towing
Begin by towing at low speeds to ensure brakes are working properly and controller is set correctly. The
ideal setting for the brake controller is achieved when the caravan is not either pulling up the tow vehicle or
pushing it along when brakes are applied.
“Limp Home” Capability
If fitted, the independent suspension is equipped with bump stops so that in the unlikely event of failure
of a spring and/or shock absorber, your caravan may travel to the nearest suitable workshop for repairs.
Other suspension systems or types of failures may result in the caravan being unable to be moved if
broken. In all cases, a careful safety assessment must be carried out prior to moving a caravan with a
broken suspension. If there is a risk of further damage, loss of control or an impact, the caravan must not
be moved, except with extreme care to a place where it does not constitute a safety hazard to other road
users.
If moving a caravan with broken suspension, it may be beneficial to temporally reduce tyre pressure to
the minimum recommended for your tyres to improve ride quality. Extreme care, low speeds and frequent
stops are required if towing under such conditions. Tyres must be inflated to their normal pressure on
completion of repairs.
