d)
Being overtaken by a large fast moving vehicle.
e)
Erratic driving.
f)
Insufficient tyre pressures.
g)
Mixing radial and cross ply tyres.
On the road if you do find your outfit snaking, try to keep the steering
wheel in a central position as far as possible, decelerate and avoid
braking if possible.
Care in Cross Winds:
Be prepared!
Your caravan/car combination can be 'interfered with' by bow waves
from large overtaking vehicles.
Towing on gradients:
When climbing, up to a 10% loss of power should be expected for every
1,000 metres gained in height. A good reserve of power is necessary for
towing up gradients at altitude.
When travelling uphill, change gear in good time. If your car is running
short of power or behind a slower vehicle, keep well into the nearside
and out of the way of other vehicles.
When going downhill, take extra care to ensure your outfit does not
gain speed.
