i have a swift conquerer 640, i have had an opperation on my left knee due to accident at work in january. my wife said she would tow the van but is very nervous due to the lenght of the van. is there any ladies out there who have towed a twin axle do they have any tips for the wife ?
the wife tows our caravan because im not allowed she say i treat it like the trailer on my truck she sometimes panics but she manages ok just tell her to keep calm there should be no problems
my wife tows our van everywhere we go. she isnt a bit nervous about it.i feel perfectly safe when she is towing. get your wife to have a go. i am sure she will be o.k.
I tow a large single axle van, I did a towing course before we got our first van and that helped my confidence, but practice is the real help. I now do most of the towing, often taking the van and children and setting up ready for when hubby can get home from work, otherwise we'd never get away at a reasonable time of day!
The more I tow the more confident I get. Tell her to have a go it'll get easier each time she tries.
I've seen a few ladies towing twin axle caravans, can't see why this should be any more unusual than towing a single axle except that there are less about.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
hi all ,there is no reason why a lady cannot tow a twin axel caravan.duing the war years they drove tanks and flew aeroplanes also drove large trucks.my lady will not pull the caravan and ours only has two wheels,i have asked.

Hi. we had a Swift Conqueror 640 for years, and I towed it with our Discovery, not only to France and Ireland, but all over this Country too. I now tow the Dart 556, I only swapped to a single axle cos of problems getting it in and out of our drive. There is NO reason why a woman can't tow anything, let alone a twin axle (the 640 was brilliant to tow, very stable cos of the twin axle etc etc) (Must admit I got some funny looks, being only 5ft tall - so what??? I could tow as well as if not better than all the men sitting back watching me maneuvering on and off site!) Go for it!! Jan
