You haven't put grease on your tow ball at some point have you? I know it's obvious to most people here, but if you have only just got the AlKo after five years with the blade, you may not be aware.I assume you are doing the thumb wheel up correctly or it would never have worked. Also check everything is bolted up tightly. While I agree that a stabiliser is not intended or capable of stabilising an unstable outfit, the original post did not say when these bouts of instability are occurring, so it's not fair at this stage to condemn it to poor loading. I assume you are not loading any differently to the first few trips when it towed correctly? Tyre pressured could have altered, but again, I don't wish to accuse you of failing to check them, I'm sure you are an intelligent person. You have a caravan after all Other than that, clutching at straws now check the wheel nuts are tight, check car tyre pressures, although they would effect you driving solo too if they are low, but should be increased when towing and low tyre pressures on the car will give exaggerated symptoms when towing.
There's not much to go wrong in the stabiliser other than worn or contaminated pads so a faulty one is unlikely.
