1 KNOW YOUR CAPABILITY
Before hitting the road, make sure you are ready for the challenge. Towing a caravan poses unique challenges and requires different skills than driving a standalone vehicle. Caravans have a considerable impact on the handling and braking capabilities of the towing vehicle. If you have yet to tow, it's wise to seek training or advice from an experienced driver. Practice on a safe backroad to feel how the van and vehicle combination move when cornering and braking. Confidence comes with practice and makes better, safer towing.
2 DON'T RUSH
Don't be cajoled into doing something you aren't confident in doing. Sure, it's best to go with the traffic flow out on the highway, but only if you feel safe. Stay in your lane, keep speed constant andwho overtook you towing a van and speeding off into the distance at 110km/h might think he has everything in hand. Well, he has, until he hasn't. There isn't a recreational vehicle on the road designed to tow a 3T van at high speed, so why should you.
