TOW VEHICLE TRAPS

32 \
WORDS : MAX TAYLOR

THINK YOU CAN LOAD YOUR RIG TO THE GUNWALES AND SET OFF WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD ? NOT SO FAST .

Caravanning is not as complicated as you might think . At least , that ’ s what I wanted to write about . But as I began to write , and as the issues all caravanners who care about safety and the law face began to circle in my brain , I realised that such an article would be a disservice .
The reality is , caravanning can be complicated , particularly when attempting to tow bang-on the legal towing limit of the tow vehicle .
Ultimately , caravanning is supposed to be enjoyable . But that joy will quickly turn to horror if you don ’ t avoid the pitfall I am going to attempt to explain .
