It depends how one sees it. From a 44tonne truck driver's pov such devices do seem unnecessary as one is used to driving inherently unstable vehicles within their defined limits, but a car driver may feel 'safer' if outfit has all known safety devices fitted although it could be argued this might give a false sense of security.

If a van is loaded correctly and driven responsibly you should not feel it operating. Having caravanned for 41 years without it on 10 previous vans i did not feel the need.But as it was factory fitted when i bought my present van new i have it.The only difference is that now if such a situation arose, it should do its job intended for.

People are having them removed because it is a pain when it operates when going over a bump & they know that in case of a jack knife at motorway speeds it would cause more problems than it would solve due to the loss of control caused by the uneven application of caravan brakes. This is why anti jack knife devices on trucks were a failure.
