Incompetence reflects on us all.
This story happened on: 02/08/2012
Ok what I am about to say will cause offence in some circles but my point is that we all become victims of the surge in interest in caravaning. Every bank holiday or peak time weekend turn on your radio and there's almost always a report of an overturned caravan causing traffic hold ups. On this very site there are people warning us of their bad experiences due to poor understanding or a lack of common sense For the sake of us all please please please learn the basics, take a few courses and become competent before you embarass yourselves or worse. Speeding while towing will hurt, lorries going past will destabilise a badly loaded caravan, using an adapter to reduce 13 pin electrics to a seven pn socket will disable functions, a motor mover is not a substitute for learning to reverse. learn to load and balance the van, Carbon monoxide kils, I've ben a camper/caravanner for 45 years as a child with my parents, and as a parent and beyond. I've never been involved in an accident, suffocated, or caused problems for others simply because I take time to understand the rules, read the instructions and value the lives of my family. We don't need an NVQ in caravaning just plain old common sense.
