We do a lot of caravaning, at home and abroad three to four months each year since I retired seven years ago. We have a 12ft caravan and I used to have a blade type damper. which i found a nuisance having to remove before reversing, noisy and when the plastic blade holder snapped for the forth time I removed it. Because there are only the two of us we have lots of room in the car so we carry nothing in the caravan that isnt part of living in the van, we just open the door and walk in. when I see the stuff that is brought out of some vans it makes me sweat. Any caravans that I have seen destroyed have been on down hill situations and I think that it is most important that the outfit is slowed on downhill sections and not allowed to run away. I dont have an alko stabilizer so have no trouble connecting even with two bikes fitted to a custom made bike rack on the spare wheel. I like a near max nose weight. regards.....bri
