Not wishing to malighn you in any way, or criticise your driving, or in any way "flame" you: but it might just be your rotten driving.

If you brake all the way to a stop you compress the overun braking mechanism.If you then take off again at full speed it has a few inches of travel before you take up the load of the caravan. Of course there is a bang when you catch up with the stationary caravan.

So, when you brake to a standstill, let the outfit roll the last 2-4 inches without the brakes on, and or when you take off again, only accelerate gently until the van is actually following you (again, only  a matter of a couple of inches). This way the overun mechism can spring back out.

Or in other words: drive more gently  and you can save yourself a tonne of money.

Sorry to read that your sense of humour is on a day off.Why do IAM members always think they are the best drivers?? Get over it.

You didn't mention in your OP that you had experience towing, you only told us the problem, I tried to offer you a solution. Like it or lump it, but thats what happens on here.

I agree wholly that Tentz is more intelligent than I, and suggest you follow his advice and go grease your nipples.
