Ensure all seals on the caravan have proper compression at 30-50%, are free of dirt and have nothing protruding past
the seals. UV light and the elements can over time cause seals and fittings to perish and become brittle. The use of a
caravan cover will extend the life of components and keep your investment looking better for longer.
Securing Your Caravan
When parked and unhitched you should always use suitable wheel chocks to ensure the trailer can’t move in the event
of a handbrake failure. For security a wheel clamp or and hitch lock are highly recommended.
Torque Settings
Wheel Nuts
Wheel nuts should be tightened to correct torque using a torque wrench. Never trust a “rattle gun” as these may over
or under tighten. A quality torque wrench will ensure nuts are tightened correctly. It’s important to remember to check
your wheel nuts at 50km, 500km and 1000km and periodically thereafter. The correct torque setting of 125Nm for
12mm studs, 140nm for 14mm studs with alloy wheels and 200nm for 14mm studs with steel rims. Refer to the plate
on your drawbar.
