As embarrising as this is and ive been towing for over 30 years and last year my brand new caravan became unhitched from the car and i was very lucky it came off and went into the field and the tow hitch went into the mud and came to a stop, and it came out only with the help of the mover, ive been put off by this big time as im into my 70s now,, but as the van i not yet a year old i want to use it again asap, can any one suggest a way that i can double check that the van is on the car without trying to lift the hitch off the car once its conected, its a alco tow hitch, thanks in advance,
