RV FEATURE
More often than not , the cause of a caravan getting the wobbles is incorrect load distribution . More specifically , too much weight at the rear of the van . A full grey water tank , bicycles , full jerry cans , are all normally stored at the rear and can cause trailer instability that would otherwise not be present .
If you are using a weightdistribution hitch , it is possible that you have too much tension on the bars , transferring additional weight to the rear of the van and causing it to be unstable .
Unfortunately , some caravans are poorly designed and are inherently unstable . Some owners we talk to often say their vans are only stable when they have full water tanks .
If you are finding it impossible to correctly load your van for stability , you should engage the services of a mobile caravan weighing service . They can accurately check the weights of your van and provide advice on how best to load it .
It may stand out like a sore thumb but a few cars have scrubbed this pole while reversing the van into the site .
