Towing the Caravan
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, parcularly in off road condions. The long distance between the axle centre and the point of aachment can be
quite long further exacerbang the effect pung stress on components.
Using a shock absorbing hitch will reduce the effect considerably.
