We've recently purchased our first caravan after many years of holidaying under canvas. We bought a 2007 Bailey Ranger 510/4 Series 5 based on the towing capacity for our 2013 Kia Cee'd SW (estate).
After collecting it from the dealer I could't help noticing (amongst the obvious lack of power) that the car was being pulled and pushed by the caravan. This maybe just down to me getting used to towing for the first time or that the caravan didn't have anything other than the gas bottle in the front locker and the free starter kit from the dealer placed over the axel.
The starter pack comprised of an awning, Wastemaster water container and grey water container, power cable etc.
We stayed overnight after collecting the caravan and before setting off I placed more items in the locker, plates and cups etc put away in their cupboards and no items were placed over the axel. There was less pulling and pushing this time round.
Does anyone know what could cause this or what I need to do to reduce this?
Many thanks.
