Land Rover Discovery Sport vs Adria Isonzo

"I can’t say that I feel any unease with the way the caravan behaves now after the move, although I agree that in principle it is good idea and I may go for it again with my next caravan."

Again, that statement indicates the often expressed, but underlying misunderstanding of what these systems are there to do.

They don't alter how a combination tows until an issue is encountered to begin to destabilise it, so hopefully one will not notice any difference in normal circumstances. If so then there is a totally unrelated issue that needs addressing.

Akin to seat belts and airbags it is a device that intervenes only when a precursor to a developing issue, here a snake is detected. Like seat belts hopefully a total waste of money, but many of us prefer it stays that way.

 

The LEAS system which works on the same principle as AlKo’s ATC is universal and can be retrofitted on any Knott chassis 

If i had a limited budget i would prioritise the following in order of: wheels balanced, fit shocks, fit ATC. The first two provide an active contribution to the outfits behaviour and stability, ATC is reactive. However not all caravan towers are perfect drivers with the ability to foresee other drivers/vehicles behaviours so whilst in theory there should not be a need for any safety or stability aid on any vehicle, i drive in the real world of  unpredictable idiots on the road. My ATC last activated when a driver of an old Kia Tucson towing an older caravan south on the A42 on Saturday 13th July could not abide me overtaking (he was doing 55, i was doing a legal 60) and nearly took out the front of my car when he suddenly carved me up to stay in front of me. Another reason i also have a dash cam.

I've no idea if my caravan's ATC has ever kicked in .... I've certainly never felt anything, not even the other week when overtaking a HGV at a little faster than I would have liked & got a bit of a wobble on when pulling out of his slip stream. 🤔

I should get your ATC checked 

Why? He probably drives very smoothly.

It comes up green on the led after it does its pre-flight check 

I do😊  .... 4 tonnes is a bit more than I'd like to try to bring to a stop side ways 😉

…or evenly suddenly. Therefore, the ATC is unlikely to engage👍🏻
