RV FEATURE
�
Reversing a caravan safely and accurately is an art as much as it is a learned skill . After years of caravanning , I like to think I can thread almost any needle when backing up . But , in truth , there have still been times when I ’ ve messed it up to the amusement of onlookers .
If this sounds like you , why not try the ReverseMate ? I gave it a go recently and was surprised by the difference it made . For people travelling solo , and who therefore don ’ t have a guide , it would be of particular benefit .
HOW IT WORKS
The ReverseMate consists of two lightweight , high-vis aluminium marker posts that are clearly well made . These posts are used to mark the desired offside position of the van once in its final position . Here ’ s how the system works …
Place the rear marker 2.8m away from your site ’ s concrete slab ( or general awning area ) in line with where you ’ d like the rear of your van to end up . Then , measure the length of your van and place the forward marker that distance away from the rear marker , also 2.8m from the slab .
