How to Tow A Caravan

[@NickByne-f2h]

Great video, your presentation and points to note/instructions are clear and easy to follow thanks!

[@the_trailer_lady]

You're very welcome. They'll be more caravan videos in the New Year as we're switching to some How-To videos for motorhomers

[@BoadiceanRevenge]

Brilliant! Thanks for this! 🙋👍🙏

[@the_trailer_lady]

My pleasure! Are there any other topics you'd like me to cover?

[@adiwilson42]

My wife loved your video ❤. Very good video for new and old drivers

[@the_trailer_lady]

Glad you enjoyed it

Excellent video. Years of towing experience under my belt and still learnt few tricks. That right turn into T junction was good one, ie shoulder inline with middle. Only complaint should've checked legs/stays up as part of walk around, ie good look under caravan.

[@the_trailer_lady]

I'm glad it was helpful! Fair point, I did miss that out. Checking that the steadies are raised is an easy thing to overlook.

Great video, I remember you commenting on one of our first videos! 🥰

[@the_trailer_lady]

You're welcome. Are there any other topics you'd like to see covered on the channel?

[@busterboy7505]

@@the_trailer_lady maybe any diy maintenance, best way of getting the spare wheel out from under the caravan when you’ve had a puncture ?, or is it better to just keep the spare wheel inside the caravan ?, 👍.

Most informative Fliss! My question is: what is a safe speed to go round a roundabout towing ? Many thanks.

[@the_trailer_lady]

I would approach slowly, 2nd gear, or even first. On the roundabout, you want to maintain a cautious speed and a distance from the vehicles in front so that you can stop safely. Roundabouts vary greatly in size, so putting a speed on it is impossible, but I will say, you should be a lot slower than if you were driving solo

[@JackieCollins-gz2ko]

@ Many thanks Fliss.

[@davidnicholson1883]

What's your thoughts on car manufacturer's towing limits that are well above the cars kerb wieght example my rav4 can tow 2000kg but kerb wieght is less than 1800kg. I do stick to the rule of not towing more than the car's kerb wieght in fact current van is around 80% Just looking around at units on the roads there's many towing far too heavy vans for a safe match

[@the_trailer_lady]

Hi David. This is an excellent question that I think needs a detailed answer. Keep your eyes peeled for a short video in the coming days

[@the_trailer_lady]

Hi David - we have just published a response to your question. Thanks for a great question 👍🏻

[@davidnicholson1883]

Thanks for letting me know I'll add a comment after your video

[@scotchegg6422]

Your noseweight information had one major flaw - you never mentioned MAXIMUMS. Your maximum noseweight is the lowest of: 1. Caravan hitch 2. Car 3. Tow bar

[@the_trailer_lady]

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I didn't want to go into too much detail on noseweight in this video as there is a separate one in the editing suite now. You are correct, though, about noseweight. There are 4 figures to consider; caravan, hitch, car, and towbar. Keep watching for video on this coming soon
