Towing outfit200 viewsTowing our Trailcraft 5.4m "Panorama Dirt Road" caravan (March 2008).
Heavy duty springs and 150mm hitch riser on LR "plough" has made the outfit level. There's a slight nose-up attitude and some pitching front and back whilst under-way. We're looking forward to taking delivery of a Mitchell Bros towbar so that we can use our Hayman Reece weight distribution hitch (which will correct the nose-up and reduce the front-back pitch).09 Mar 2008
