Before towing

  • Make sure your trailer is regularly serviced and maintained. It is not wise to leave your caravan, horse box or trailer unused for the majority of the year before taking it out on the road without checking it for serviceability, brakes and tyres in particular.
  • If your trailer has brakes, a common problem that may occur is that brake cables and linkages could seize. This may cause the brakes to bind, over heating the wheel bearings. This may result in the wheel, complete with the hub assembly, parting company with the trailer.
  • Check the condition of tyres and tyre pressures regularly.
  • If you are towing a large high sided trailer or caravan you may require extended door mirrors. These will help visibility along both sides of your vehicle and trailer.
  • You will need to be aware that the vehicle and trailer will take longer to stop, accelerate and turn than a vehicle on its own.
