PREPARING FOR THE ROAD
BEFORE SETTING OFF
(i) Connect the 13 pin plug on the caravan
A-frame to the towing vehicle.
(ii) Check that all tail-lights, brake lights,
road lights and indicators work correctly.
(iii) Ensure that the correct vehicle license /
registration plate is attached to the rear
of the touring caravan.
(iv) Using the jockey wheel lift the tow ball
slightly to check hitch is locked onto the
ball
(v) Wind up the jockey wheel until the wheel
supports locate into the cut out sections
at the base of the winding section.
(vi) Raise and secure the jockey wheel
using the clamp. The jockey wheel
should be parallel to the direction of
travel at all times.
(vii) Check condition of and secure the
breakaway cable to the tow vehicle.

HANDBRAKE
Your caravan is fitted with BPW running gear
and handbrake. It is essential that prior to
towing you ensure that your handbrake is in
the fully off position. This can be confirmed
by ensuring that the handbrake arm is resting
on the blue stop fitted to the side of the A
frame as shown in Fig 3-4 below.
CABLES
For peace of mind, you may wish to check
the ability of the cables to be able to cope
with towing the vehicle at extreme angles
before setting off. To do so position the
vehicle at alternate extreme angles and
check that the cables do not pull too tight, are
liable to stretch or become unplugged. No
cables should be allowed to touch the ground
as they will wear and become damaged and
ineffective.
Please Note: If having followed this advice,
you feel you cannot achieve a satisfactory
cable arrangement, consult your caravan or
tow bar supplier or service agent.
