as newbies we are learning slowly but getting there, before we even baught a caravan we went on the caravan club course on how to manuvare a caravan, jack and dave were brileant with use, they tautes use how to reverse your caravan, in a straite line, left revers in to pitch, right revers in to pitch, weve in and out of cones, 2 days we spent being taught, but putting it in to practise is another thing, it just gose were it wants, i have stood and watched and taken note and everybodys caravan dose what its ment to, is it use is there somthing wrong with our caravan

Keeping the stabiliser on would stop the van being so "twitchy", would it not? I say this as I usually forget anyway. Embarassed

Isn't debate about agreeing, disagreeing and putting your viewpoint forward for it to be dissected by others. I disagreed wih SG's post and agreed with MM, others are within their rights to do the same and this is why a logical conclusion to the original question will be arrived at Happy

I hope the OP gets what they want out of this thread, I believe he/she may be over reacting to direction changes so make smaller corrections of the steering wheel.
