Helpful Tips
Below are some useful and helpful tips and information we have compiled for you.
- Always check tyre pressures and wheel nuts before every journey.
- Never use the corner steadies as a form of raising the caravan, they are what they say "steadies" use a suitable jack. Forcing the steadies to lift the caravan could be costly if you damage them.
- Abide by the highway code rules. Never use the third lane on motorways whilst towing a trailer or caravan.
- Don't remove the smoke alarm battery, This simple but effective little device could save your life one day and should be left alone.
- Allow extra journey time and purchase a small water bottle, so you can pull over and have a nice brew, to ease those stressed moments.
- Purchase a spare breakaway cable as towing without one is illegal. Also carry a spare bulb/fuse kit if traveling to the continent, as this is a requirement.
- Be kind and considerate to other road users. Pull over in a safe spot to allow faster vehicles to overtake.
