Towing the Caravan
Towing with Trucks & Buses
If you intend to tow your caravan with a truck or heavy comme
rcial vehicle you should fit a hitch system to minimise the
lash effect of the commercial suspension and distance from the rear axle to the tow point. Truck suspension can be
harsh, particularly in off road conditions. The long distance between the axle centre and the point of attachment can be
quite long further exacerbating the effect putting stress on components.
Using a shock absorbing hitch will reduce the effect considerably.
