OTHER MEANS OF ATTACHMENT
Alternatively, it may be possible to attach
the cable assembly to a permanent part of
the tow bar structure with the approval of
the tow bar supplier, or to an accessory
sold for the purposes of breakaway cable
attachment.
WHEN THE BREAKAWAY CABLE IS
ATTACHED CHECK TO ENSURE
• That the cable cannot snag in use on
the caravan hitch, jockey wheel or any
accessories e.g. a stabiliser, bumper
shield, cycle carrier etc.
• That there must be sufficient slack in
the cable to allow the towing vehicle
and caravan to fully articulate without
the cable ever becoming taut and
applying the brakes.
• That it is not so slack that it can drag on
the ground. Leave it too loose, and the
cable may scrape along the ground,
and be weakened so that it fails before
doing its job!
• Plug in the electrical connections from
the tow car.
• Ensure that the correct vehicle licence
/ registration plate is attached to the
rear of the touring caravan.
• Check that all tail-lights, brake lights,
road lights and indicators work
correctly.
• Release the parking brake on the
caravan and adjust all rear and side
view mirrors from the driving seat
before setting off.
For peace of mind, you may wish
to check the state of the cable by
positioning the caravan and
towing vehicle at extreme angles
before setting off.
If having followed this advice, you
feel you cannot achieve a
satisfactory cable arrangement,
consult your caravan or tow bar
supplier or service agent.
