Do we really have to have the kids talking nonsense in the videos? Whatefa?

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if all brake controllers have a button?

It's not that hard. People make it hard by not taking a minute to get out and check your surroundings, asses your options and then DO it.

It's quite telling that adult problems are articulated in this manner and yet still there are those who cannot (or will not) understand basic lessons putting themselves, their family and other road users (and their families) at risk! Great lessons from @rvsafe for new and old caravan owners alike.

As a truck driver.. the larger the trailer the easy it is

YES YES YES! Finally I see a video for RV owners that acknowledges "please don't slow down until the truck is passing you. If you see a truck gaining on you DO NOT SLOW DOWN"

I love the look of that bullbar!

Thanks for this one Pat, but why about on the highways, or main roads like around Tumut, where you are at or above 60kph , that’s where I first and often find myself on the edge of brake fade,

I always suggest reversing if possible where you can see the drivers side of the caravan. If unsure get out and walk the site discuss with spotter where you the caravan needs to go. Spotter is better on the drivers side for safety and communication.

Simple, Clear but the Best. Thanks heaps.

It’s grace because I keep seeing her your. Match

Those are minivans that's not even the Caravan those are fake cars and what is that car called

What about a rearview camera ?

Never load the heavy weights `concentrated over the axle - loads should be spread evenly over the full length of the platform with a positive bias on the nose up to the limit of the tow bar - you can hang your bikes on the rear of your trailer as long as other weights are spread along the whole floor. Concentrating heavy loads over the axle will increase the risk of an uncontrolled sway since the lighter the ends front and rear are the easier it is for a side wind to push it out of line as in a flywheel effect around the axle centre then the weight over the wheels will add inertia to the return stroke back to the centre of equilibrium. - physical Fact. yet they have not worked this out - I would stand up infront of any one prepared to listen and demonstrate why - so far dumb idiots produce model rolling road that is totally misleading and I could show them why. Until these myths are removed there will be no solution.

gentle speed up in 4wd/rwd vehicule can stabilize than let it slow down

This seems like a documentary about caravan sway made for kids. Very weird.

hint: outlaw caravans, f f s

I am surprized that no one knows what to do if a caravan or large trailer starts to sway, A swaying caravan or trailer will start steering the car in either direction, Do not try to fight this as you will only make things worse, Lock your arms and steer straight ahead take your foot of the accelerator, do not apply the brakes or accelerate the vehicle, You can apply the trailer brakes if you are able. I have used this method and it does work. If the problem persists you will need to proceed at a slower speed & fit anti sway bars to your vehicle

Don't you just love the bikes hanging from the back of the caravan after telling you to distribute your weight correctly They make a great pendulum

My god

This is legitimately terrifying, whoever designed it needs an exorcism.

!!!WHY DON’T THEY BLINK!!!

the animation in this ad somehow seems like they used a ton of stock animations

I live in Australia too.

Mrs. Jones could do better.

i just shitted my pants seeing this

Saw this on an ad

Lord this ad

This video isn’t real. Ralphie was sent into a coma when he hit the ground in the combination weight video and every video after it has been a dream. Mr Jones’ golf obsession caused him to neglect and severely injure his child. Ralphie used ice-cream as a coping mechanism as the brain-freeze would temporarily free him from the traumatic onslaught of his on psyche’s demonic golf dad. Wake up Ralphie.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS???

Oh my god this is horrifying

the boy has a mans face but has baby arms

My fam knows this as we have a caravan

The oldest daughter was sent to military school

I wear a mask in a caravan for hours at a time

She's hot !

Apply the trailer brakes ?? This video is going about a car towing a caravan, not a Truck and trailer with separate trailer brakes. I've never seen a car with a "trailer brake" button or lever hahaha

I think this misses on a couple of key areas. Firstly you do mention the pressure wave from trucks when you are overtaking, but not how significant it is or how to manage a surge. (Applies to overtaking on dual lane carriageways too) Secondly you didn’t mention that being overtaken also gives same effect from truck passing you.

Bruh i dont even have a car bruh why just why is it recommended

4th option, install stiff suspension at the rear of towing vehicle and it won't allow sway. I did 20 000 safe km with xc70 towing 7 meter camper in every weather and climate. Now towing 2800kg with a Sprinter van with reinforced stiff rear suspension ... 5th option, get a towing vehicle with an old style frame... trailer won't get any possibility for sway

good video, but did you consider maximum axle loading, and combined mass? and where to place the load in the van?

Option 4: Don't tow a 30' RV with a Toyota RAV 4.

250kg hitch weight?

After having three kids , trailer sway is the only ride she’s going to feel!

in the old days in GB caravan owners were told when purchasing do not go over 50mph. or you'll lose it and could end up dead . or badly injured.

Been there done that - put the brakes on wrote off caravan and car - never again but fucking trailer brakes? never seen them before.

Please see the overhang on the caravan. THAT'S the cause of the sway. TOO BLOODY much overhang. When ordering a caravan or even a box trailer ALWAYS opt for the 60 / 40 rule. If the dealer can't / won't do it your way, go somewhere else. 60 % in front / 40%to the rear. You may still have some slight sway but the combination will be much more controllable. Also use your electric brake controller to apply the trailer brakes. Having said this, if your caravan started to sway you would have both hands on the wheel, your eyes bulging WIDE open and you will be too busy shitting yourself to even think about applying the trailer brakes. Any caravan or trailer that has wheels in the middle, PISS it off.

Are you using 'National Specs' or state legislation figures. Manufacturers will tell you any old rubbish. I recently had 'discussions' with the head office of a large vehicle manufacturer regarding their recommended towbar setup. I also spoke to an independant engineer who told me a completely different story. I took the engineers advice and our van tows great. (loaded correctly) Perth based.
