Towing the Caravan
Hitch
Towing with Trucks & Buses
If you intend to tow your caravan with a truck or heavy commercial vehicle you should fit a hitch system
to minimise the lash effect of the commercial suspension and distance from the rear axle to the tow
point. Truck suspension can be harsh, particularly in off road conditions. The long distance between the
axle centre and the point of attachment can be quite long further exacerbating the effect putting stress
on components.
Using a shock absorbing hitch will reduce the effect considerably.
