Towing a caravan or trailer requires greater skill and knowledge than normal driving. Preparing for a drive with an RV, whether caravan, trailer or trailer tent, can make the trip go much smoother.

Basic Tips for Driving Safely with a Caravan

• Allow for the length and width of the caravan when entering traffic.
• Remember, a car towing a caravan or trailer has further to travel when passing another vehicle.
• Consider the dimensions of the RV. Allow for the RV height when pulling into the kerb, especially where the road is higher and there is a possibility of hitting trees.
• To avoid sway, particularly in wet conditions, apply the accelerator, brakes and steering smoothly and gently.
• Allow for a longer stopping distance.
• Maintain a space of at least 60 metres from any vehicle in front.
• When travelling downhill, engage a lower gear (in both manual and automatic vehicles) to increase vehicle control and reduce strain on brakes.
• If overtaking, allow more time and distance. A vehicle's capacity to accelerate is reduced when towing a caravan or trailer.
• If traffic begins to build up behind the RV, periodically move off the road to allow other motorists to pass safely.

A Swaying Caravan

If the caravan begins to sway or snake, avoid applying the towing vehicle's brakes. Continue at a steady speed or accelerate slowly until the swaying stops.
