I'm new to towing only towed my caravan to 3 sites and back and to be honest I had one little wobble on a windy Severn bridge but apart from that not a movement and I don't have a stabilising bar or hitch and at the moment I'm perfectly happy not buying one either. As long as you take your time and load correctly there wont hardly be a movement.

Good luck with your search
