1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 2 The Towing Code THE CARAVAN TOWING CODE This Code of Practice contains recommendations jointly reviewed and agreed by the following organisations: The The The The The National Caravan Council Caravan Club Camping and Caravanning Club Caravan Writers Guild Department of Transport Scope of the Code The Code applies to all trailer caravans of maximum laden weight not exceeding 3500 kg (7,700 lbs), overall width not exceeding 2.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 3 The Towing Code TOWING VEHICLE TERMS Kerb weight (Mass of Vehicle in Running Order): The weight of the towing vehicle as defined by the vehicle manufacturer. This is normally with a full tank of fuel, with an adequate supply of liquids incidental to the vehicles propulsion, without driver or passengers, without any load except loose tools and equipment with which the vehicle is normally provided and without any towing bracket.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 4 The Towing Code lower jockey wheel before entering the caravan and then raise before measuring again. (See Loading). Note: The height of the towball on the towing vehicle, when laden, is also critical. 430mm + 35mm - Fig. A Measuring Noseweight MEASUREMENT OF NOSEWEIGHT Noseweight may be measured using a propriety brand of noseweight indicator. Such equipment is obtainable at your Caravan Dealer.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 5 The Towing Code Torque Wrench - A torque wrench is the only way that the exact recommended torque can be achieved for wheel nuts and bolts. (See Preparing for the Road). Towing Bracket - Never use cheap alternatives, obtain one manufactured by a reputable company complying with the relevant standards.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 6 The Towing Code Useful memory aid for other items.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 7 The Towing Code PREPARING FOR THE ROAD PRE-LOAD CHECKLIST Caution: Never enter the caravan without first lowering the four corner steadies with the brace provided. (a) (b) (d) BEFORE LOADING CHECK: - loose articles are stowed securely. Do not stow tins, bottles or heavy items in overhead lockers prior to towing. (c) - all lockers and cupboard doors are closed and secured. Fig. A Loading your caravan - all bunks are secure.

If it is excessive the steering and stability will be affected. (Fig.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 9 The Towing Code Galvanised steel chassis Drilling of the galvanised steel chassis will invalidate the warranty and must not be done. Towball The Al-Ko stabiliser is designed to be used with a swan neck, fixed or detachable towball. If you use a 'bolt on type' towball you may need to replace your towball with a special extended neck towball.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 10 The Towing Code WARNING: If a wheel or tyre fitted to a wheel is changed any replacement must be of the same type of construction and size. Tyre tread The law requires that tyres and pressures must be suitable for the use to which they are being put. The minimum tread depth of both car and caravan tyres must be 1.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 11 The Towing Code Fig. A Handbrake Lock the caravan exterior door. An assistant can help in the hitching operation by standing on the left hand side of the drawbar (facing rear of car) and extending an arm horizontally to indicate position of the coupling. When reversing aim the towball of the car directly at the caravan drawbar. Remove towball cover and keep in car. Adjust the jockey wheel to ensure the cup is high enough to slide over the towball.
11 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 12 The Towing Code Ensure that the jockey wheel is fully wound up and properly located in the slots, then release the clamp handle, lift the whole unit as high as possible and retighten the clamp handle. Fully raise all four corner steadies. (Fig. A, Page 10). Note: Ensure jockey wheel locates in recess provided. Switch off gas supply and change over to electricity if required.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 13 The Towing Code Fig. A Handbrake Adjust jockey wheel to lower cup on to the ball. A click indicates it is fully engaged. Ensure locking button has returned to its free position. Secure caravan handbrake. (Fig. A, Page 13) Connect breakaway cable (emergency braking device) in the form of a noose to suitable anchorage point on towbar. DO NOT attach to towball.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 14 The Towing Code ROAD LIGHTING For your information the wiring diagram of the 12N and 12S connectors is shown opposite. These should be checked regularly and if in any doubt a qualified electrician consulted. Some European cars may be equipped with Volta, Jeager, West or multi-con sockets, an adaptor or replacement sockets may be required. If so consult your dealer or qualified electrician.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 15 The Towing Code WARNING: Do not cause any road lighting to be obscured by the addition of any options or accessories to your caravan. PASSENGERS Passengers are forbidden to ride in a caravan. BREAKAWAY CABLES UK law requires that all caravans are fitted with a safety device to provide protection in the unlikely event of separation of the main coupling while in motion.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 16 The Towing Code When the breakaway cable is attached, check to ensure: a) that the cable cannot snag in use on the caravan coupling head, jockey wheel, stabiliser or accessory e.g. bumper shield, cycle carrier etc. b) that there is sufficient slack in the cable to allow the towing vehicle and caravan to articulate fully without the cable ever becoming taut and applying the brakes. Fig. 3A c) that it is not slack and can drag on the ground.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 17 The Towing Code REVERSING When the towing vehicle is reversing, the overrun device shaft is pushing in, applying the brakes via the overrun lever, brake rod system, bowden cables and the expander mechanism. The backwards rotation of the brake drum causes the secondary brake shoe to collapse cancelling out the braking effect, allowing the trailer to move backwards.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 18 The Towing Code CHANGING A WHEEL PLEASE NOTE DIFFERENT BOLT TYPES 1. Leave caravan hitched to towing vehicle and ensure handbrake is applied. 2. Lower corner steadies (as safety measure) on the side that the wheel is being changed to stabilise the caravan. 3. Use wheel brace to slacken off wheel nuts on the wheel to be changed. 4. Position jack under the axle at the appropriate jacking point (see fig. B) 5.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm Page 19 The Towing Code JACKING POINTS WARNING: Only jack up your caravan when it is coupled up to the car with its handbrake applied and in 1st gear (engine off). (v) Drive forward since this attempt to move up the hill will now not involve pulling the full weight of the caravan until the car has gained some traction. ARRIVAL ON SITE Note: Check and observe site regulations. Ensure that the jack is located in the correct position, i.e.
1711 Caravan Owners Hbook 2006 21/7/05 6:04 pm The Towing Code 3. Unhitching Apply the caravan handbrake. Lower the jockey wheel to the ground. Disconnect the breakaway cable and road lighting plugs. AKS3004 Release the stabiliser by lifting the red handle. Then lift the exposed black handle forward until it clicks up, at the same time winding down the jockey wheel, to lift the caravan clear of the towing vehicle.
