Before you think about towing your caravan, you need to have the right tow bar fitted and therefore the necessary electrics.<\/p>\n

However, over recent years, this job has no doubt become more problematic due to the complexity of many a vehicle\u2019s electrical system.<\/p>\n

What was once perhaps considered a straightforward task which anybody with a good DIY track record could undertake, now it\u2019s becoming increasingly harder to take on by yourself.<\/p>\n

However, it is indeed a legal requirement that your indicators can clearly be seen when towing your caravan. Yet, despite this, many people continue to get this wrong and therefore place both themselves and others at considerable risk, not to mention become liable for substantial penalties as a result.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we strongly recommend that you arm yourself with as much information beforehand, thus ensuring you are fully confident when taking on such a task.<\/p>\n

This is not to say that it\u2019s impossible to do the job correctly and safely. In fact, many caravanners attempt this task themselves and look to appropriate caravan websites and indeed YouTube channels to boost their knowledge as they do so.<\/p>\n

All it requires is taking some time out beforehand to make yourself aware of the possible problems that can occur and ensuring you know how to respond to them.<\/p>\n
