New to Caravanning

[John_374564913]

We have placed an order for a Bailey GT60/620-6 and expect delivery the first week of June

Have asked for the Alko Trailer Control to be fitted and the twin axle mover together with satellite dish and solar panel.

We will be towing it with a new Mercedes Benz C220 CDI/AMG

I have the following questions if anybody can help

What is the nose weight of our new caravan

When towing the caravan should we tow in comfort mode or sport mode

Any other advise would be appreciated.

hi john

with regards to what mode you should tow your caravan in its up to you really, in sport mode all it does it speeds up gear changes, stiffens the suspension etc, in comfort mode i would expect it does the opposite, i`d suggest trying each one of them. but also in comfort mode the suspension will absorb more bumps, holes in the road etc

with regards to nose weight on your van i dont know, best thing though would be to buy something like this:

we got one so before we leave we can always check that the nose weight is right, better safe than sorry ey..

hope its of some help to you
