First piece of advice would be to get a good stabiliser fitted. There have been contributors to this board who have boasted that they have been towing for 50 years without one and never had a problem. Ignore them! They are either very lucky or very stupid. Alko seem to be the brand leader and have an excellent reputation. Both caravanning clubs will be able to send you technical leaflets concerning the whole field of stabilisers and, as a newcomer, you may find that the help available from both clubs would be a good investment. Next piece of advice is make sure your van is properly serviced and that the braking system, suspension and, most important of all, tyres, are all in tip-top condition. Final piece of advice, don't worry. If you tow in a hurricane in February you might experience problems, but for most of your journeys you will be absolutely fine. Of course passing lorries will give you a degree of buffeting but, if you are driving at a steady and sensible speed, no harm will come to you. Remember that even cars without caravans sometimes flip over. The reasons are usually the same; driving too fast, sudden or erratic manoeuvres, poor tyres and/or suspension and not paying full attention to the road. Happy driving.
