Officers were stopping vehicles at the Boreham Interchange at Junction 19 on the A12. In total 39 vehicles were stopped during the operation including 13 towing trailers, 19 towing caravans,…
I have just bought a Toyota Rav4 which is equiped with 'Trailer Sway Control' which can be switched on/off as required. Does anyone know how this will work with/against the Alko ATC system on my caravan?
All members who own "the best tow car in category BMW X5", this car is dangerous! So a new Adria Alpina Colorado needs a serous tow car complete with a pricey electric tow bar fitted in the BMW factory of course! Anyway having spent the last of my money on the extras including the best 850 Auto Satelite it failed to fold…
With towing mirror heads being reasonably stiff to adjust to that fine accuracy and my wife finds trying to adjust the passenger side mirror from outside to my directions, it’s food for thought if a manufacturer like Milenco or Towsure, could make mirrors with electric motors incorporated into them, the same as most cars…
I'm hoping to get an honest opinion from people on here who tow with a 4x4, more specifically if possible a Land Rover Defender. On another forum I visit (not caravan related) it's been suggested that we MUST have a Dixon Bate Shocklink fitted to the Defender if we want to avoid the caravan chassis being shaken to bits.…
Drove from Shropshire to Penrith today, solo. Just south of the town, on the M6 south-bound side a serious accident. Car on a low loader and a caravan smashed to little almost unrecognisable pieces, strewn all over three lanes of the motorway. I felt physically sick at the sight of this. There but for the Grace of God, go…
We are due to go on our first 'proper' holiday to Burford tomorrow (2nd April). Still new to towing and first time loaded up. Bit concerned with the weather warnings for tomorrow and wonder if we would do better to delay until Tuesday? Grateful for advice from you seasoned caravanners!

I have a swift challenger 4 berth 530 2003 with an mtplm of 1429kg I am looking for a new tow car and all these different weights are really confusing me. I saw a 2011 Skoda Superb estate with a kerb weight of 1494 and a Max. Towing Weight - Braked of 1800 but when I put this car into the clubs checker its 97%. I also…
I’ve Bi-xenon headlights on my new Towcar, now they’re supposed to look round bends, self adjusting etc so normal deflectors sound as though they wouldn’t work. Nothing in the handbook, has anyone had experience with them? Going to France & Spain, it’s a Ford Kuga
