Hi, I'm buying a new Bailey Unicorn. Dealer has informed me it's in but alko stabliser not yet fitted due to supply difficulties. Dealer suggests it's fine, just have to inform my insurance. When the part is available it can be fitted. Anyone else having similar issues? I'm not keen to take delivery to be honest. Advice appreciated. Thank you.

Like other members, I have towed many caravans many miles and only one of them, not my current one, had ATC.
The only times it operated were a nuisance because it applied the caravan brakes while crossing an uneven "level" crossing!
I have never experienced any instability with or without ATC .

How have you come to that particular conclusion?
The original post asks about whether the dealers suggestion that they will be fine as long they inform their insurers is or is not is reasonable.
Some of us have suggested the OP will be fine if they go along with what the dealer suggests. Which logically means its not required, ergo we have provided one answer to the OP.

When we had it we had it trigger and pull the van back when we passed around a particular mini roundabout, virtually every time. So I knew it did something. Even when the the LED on the fairing had failed (twice in three years).
Since passing in our current 'van (without ATC) there is no sign of instability so idea why it would trigger at that particular location.
Posted on 15/08/2022 21:27 by EmilysDadwe don't know exactly what's missing from the caravan. Is it the stabiliser as said in the original post or infact it's the ATC as speculated here? And if Tippsy isn't keen on collection as is, then that should be it.

Based on another thread on here my money is on ATC being missing.
Hence I think it reasonable to assume the 'van is being supplied with a stabilising hitch but not ATC.
