Hi All, I'm fairly new to towing and wondered if the following is normal or indicates a problem.
When I pull away from a complete stop you can feel a slight bump, as if the draw bar is being pulled out before the caravan starts to move. There is no bump or feeling of the caravan pushing the car when breaking, its very hard to push the hitch in by hand (have to use all my weight) but does not return to original position. It is however smooth to pull back out. I have greased the draw bar etc. Could this be a sign of the breaks not being correctly adjusted or is it completely normal, and I just need to get use to it.
