What has not been mentioned is that most caravans other than upmarket ones, are not fitted with dampers (shock absorbers). This leads to bounce on the road - if a caravan passes you hopping about a bit, you can be sire it has no dampers. Theses are available for Alko in different colours according to teh application, and are easy to fit as the mounting are already present - its just that caravan manufacturers are too penny pinching to fit to all vans.

If it was just problem with the caravan not having dampers, then surely more caravans would have these problems? I admit I haven't had my caravan for very long (coming up too two years) but I haven't yet seen a caravan bouncing down the road.

Its the same with caravans swaying, you can get the fancy Alko ATC (or whatever its called)but nothing beats having a caravan than is properly loaded.

Personally I feel these additions are all good and well, but they aren't strictly needed, and just add cost to caravans that are already expensive.
