Towing The Caravan 
Towing with Trucks

 

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.
