As Already mentioned people who pull into your breaking space on the motorway, this is highlighted when travelling on a fairly busy but flowing motorway in my current car with active cruise control which keeps a constant set gap to the car in front , even when set on the closest distance which...

Hi I tow with a universal front cover, it fits quite well and does not flap, I give the front of the caravan as a minimum a wipe over with a waterless wash product normally I’ll wash the caravan prior to towing anyway. I did get a chipped edge of a window more than likely from a car coming the...
