Hi, just bought a 2005 caravan and have just been on a short break with it and when I reverse it on level ground it is fine but when I reversed up a slight incline the brakes seemed to lock on a bit and the car struggled to reverse which caused my cars clutch to start smelling also.
Can you please help with any suggestions or answers.
Thanks
Mark
Mark,
Do you have one of these fitted by any chance? if so, sometimes when you reverse the arm can hit the caravan "A" frame brake handle and pull on the caravan brakes.

Hi Mick, Yes I have just fitted one to my caravan, what do I need to do when reversing ( Just lift the handle up ?? ).
Cheers
