... remember to check the following before taking your caravan on the road:
• Condition of the tyres and their pressure
• Is the load correctly distributed and firmly secured – check the caravan nose weight
• The TV antenna is in the travelling position
• Gas cylinders are fastened and turned off
• Doors, hatches, windows and fridge door are closed correctly
• Are the lights/indicators undamaged and in working order? Also ensure 12N/12S electrical cable won't pull or drag as the car turns
• Corner steadies are fully raised, chocks have been removed
• Is the coupling head (use the jockey wheel to raise the car/caravan coupling an inch) and breakaway cable securely fastened?
• Check the coupling height is correct, the caravan should be level with the towing vehicle
• The hand brake is released
• Stow the jockey wheel
• Check your towing mirrors
• Test your brakes when you pull off |

AND HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY ;-)
