First Time Tower
We picked the van up this morning from storage where the company we purchased it from kindly delivered it. After checking everything 5 times we eventually set off home to give it a clean in readiness for our firts outing on Sunday. Having never towed before I wasn't sure what to expect. The initial tow away from its pitch at the storage facility was very smooth and felt as though I had nothing behind me. After joing the A road immediately from site things started to feel a lot different. Everything felt great moving through the gears upto about 40-50mph when I started to really notice I was towing something. It almost felt like it was pushing and then pulling on the car even when I was travelling at a steady 40-50mph. I must admit it wasn't at all what I was expecting as I thought our set up would be more than capable of towing the van. We had zero weight in the van other than an aquar roll, waste master and 2 gas bottles in the front. Is this a normal sensation or have I omitted to do something during set up that might help? The van is a Charisma 560 and weighs approx 1200 unladen. The car is a Ford Kuga Titanium 2.0D. Any advice before we set off on Sunday would be great. Thanks
