Caravan Stabiliser

When driving a caravan, safety concerns should be paramount, and whilst a caravan stabiliser is not intended to be a substitute for sound practice in loading and towing, they are valuable accessories. A caravan stabiliser however, will not overcome problems created by poor loading or poor driving.

Follow the golden rules of towing: Set up the trailer so that is level when coupled to the towing vehicle. Make sure the nose weight is between 50 and 100kg (unless trailer is very light.)

Make sure the tyre pressures are correct. It should be remembered that you must not Bulldog 100qtravel in the right-hand lane of a motorway, with three lanes or more, if you are driving a vehicle drawing a trailer.

The main purpose of a stabiliser is to stop a trailer or caravan from becoming unstable and snaking from side to side. They come in various forms and designs, popular makes include the Al-ko caravan stabiliser, the Snakemaster, and the Bulldog stabiliser.

A selection of caravan stabilisers can be found in our main store where you can compare prices of many of the popular models.

The most popular types are the trailing arm leaf spring and the coupling head stabiliser. "Snaking" is when the axles of the caravan/trailer move out of line from the towing vehicle. When this happens, the trailer/caravan tries to move back into line and it goes too far. This action starts the cycle of "snaking" from side to side.Unless the snaking is stopped, it will increase and will cause the driver to lose control.

Snaking can be caused by a number of factors such as: Incorrectly placed loads (excessive loading to the rear of the axle(s)) Very light or negative nose weight Side winds (when a large commercial vehicle or coach overtakes and causes the air to buffet the caravan/trailer, moving the axles out of alignment) Special purpose built trailers having awkward internal fixtures that may be not balanced, causing instability.

To stop snaking there are a few simple rules: Keep the vehicle steering in a straight line Change down a gear and take both feet off the pedals If the snaking starts whilst going down hill, change down a gear and very gently apply the brakes

Do not try to accelerate out, this could end in disaster unless the vehicle is exceptionally powerful. Do not brake hard,this may cause the trailer to jack knife. Do not try to steer out, it is very difficult to read the snaking action and it can make it worse.

Kampa Caravan Cover

Once you have finished using your caravan for the year you should considering protecting it during the winter months with a suitable cover. The Kampa caravan cover is made from a lightweight material to avoid scratching and features a triple layer for complete protection against the worst of the winter weather.

The outer layer is made from a soft yet durable material which also reflects the suns harmful UV rays protecting the exterior paintwork of your caravan.

The second layer is the aeror micropore which is breathable and stops rainfall penetrating yet allows moisture to escape minimising condensation. As there is little moisture, this prevents  mold and mildue build up which can be a problem after overwintering.

The final and third layer is made from a material that is soft, lightweight and, more importantly, non abrasive ensuring the outside of the caravan does not get scratched.

Two zippers offer easy access to the caravan door and sown in quick release buttons ensure easy installation and removal.

The Kampa caravan cover is a top of the range cover at an affordable price which will protect your caravan for many years to come. It is perfect for a 19ft or 21ft caravan. If your caravan is 21ft you should opt for the size up as caravan shapes and designs vary and the cover can sometimes be too tight on the larger size of caravan.

By protecting your caravan you will prolong the useful life of your investment and you will minimise cleaning during the spring when you start looking forward to a new holiday season.

Eriba Caravans

The Eriba Caravan company is based at Lechlade-on-Thames on the edge of the Cotswolds and have  a complete after sales advice, servicing and accident repair facility as well as well as a large and comprehensive list of spare parts.

Eriba caravan models include the Puck, Triton, Troll, Pontos Familia and the Forever Young.Eriba Caravans

The original Eriba Caravan was built around a revolutionary concept more than fifty years ago. The difference lay in the frame which is a tubular steel frame structure and has stood the test of time and has yet to be surpassed in terms of rigidity.

It has an unusual and unique design which is both aerodynamic and has an optimum weight ratio. Whilst it's low centre of gravity gives it excellent road holding capability when towing, and is very easy to manouver manually.

The tubular steel frame structure is insulated to ensure that ther are no cold spots to attract unwanted condensation on the inner panel.

In addition, the tubular steel frame is used to mount all the internal furniture, as well as an anchor point for any external accessories which are to be fitted.

This ensures the ERIBA Touring caravan a long life and why there are so many veteran Eriba caravans on the road to day.
