The fear

Hello, 

I recently bought a Compass Omega caravan and to cut a long story short almost got killed on the way home with it. I discovered the following day that the problem was with the car I was using(not mine) as both rear shock absorbers were shot, causing an almighty snake at 50mph. I have now had a towbar fitted to my own car, a Passat estate, but still I am very nervous when towing and feel every movement of the caravan.

I work for a tool hire company and have been towing almost every day for the last 6 years and never had a problem.

Is this possibly a fault with my driving or caravan?  Or do I need just to man up and get over it Worried

Thanks

I think a lot of it is you are still nervous after your bad experience, I think we all would. The Passat is an excellent towcar.
