Safer towing starts here. We supply and install leading electronic sway control systems that detect unstable movement and automatically apply your caravan brakes to help straighten the rig. Fully certified, fully insured, and backed by local expertise.
Certified Caravan Stability Control Installers
Caravan Stability Control — AL‑KO • Dexter • BMPRO • Lippert
AL-KO ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
Lippert Sway Command™ detects excessive trailer movement and activates the caravan brakes before sway escalates, supporting a calmer, safer towing experience.
- Proactive brake activation tuned for typical tow rigs
- LED diagnostics and simple in‑cab awareness via controller
- Compatibility with popular electric brake setups
- Useful for vans that see highway crosswinds and long‑haul touring
Fitment checklist
- Mounting in protected location with service access
- Correct gauge wiring to junction box and axle circuits
- Integration with breakaway and controller circuits
- Dynamic test and documentation of brake balance front/rear
Dexter Sway Control (DSC)
Dexter DSC uses accelerometers to sense hazardous sway events and pulses the trailer brakes independently of the tow vehicle to dampen oscillations and restore stability.
- Multi‑axis sensors for precise sway event recognition
- Rapid brake pulsing to counteract crosswinds, passing trucks, or evasive manoeuvres
- Works with most proportional brake controllers
- Status LED for quick diagnostics
Fitment checklist
- Secure chassis mounting with correct orientation
- Clean earths and sealed connectors to caravan junction box
- Controller compatibility check and wiring verification
- Functional test at low speed then controlled road validation
BMPRO Sway Control
BMPRO SwayControl integrates with your caravan’s braking to intervene during sway, assisting straight‑line stability while towing in wind, on rutted surfaces, or when load shifts occur.
- Automatic sway detection with intelligent brake application
- Designed to complement modern brake controllers and BMPRO ecosystems
- Compact module footprint with simple status indication
- Australian engineering heritage with local support
Fitment checklist
- Correctly fused 12V feed and protected routing to axles
- Brake wiring integrity test (resistance/insulation)
- Mount away from direct spray/stone strike; loom sleeving
- Commissioning sequence and owner handover briefing

What we check on fitment
FAQs — Caravan Sway Control
Do I still need a brake controller in the car?
Yes. Stability systems work with your caravan’s electric brakes and a suitable in‑vehicle controller. We’ll confirm compatibility or recommend an upgrade.
How long does installation take?
Most installs are completed same‑day after inspection, depending on wiring condition and axle configuration.
Can I add a stability system to a caravan that didn’t come with one from the factory?
A stability system detects sway the moment it occurs and applies precise braking to bring the caravan back into line. This automatic correction helps prevent snaking and keeps the tow vehicle stable, especially at highway speeds or in windy conditions.
What does a stability control system actually do when a caravan begins to sway?
Yes. Most modern caravans can have electronic stability systems retrofitted. Compatibility depends on your braking system, wiring, and caravan weight, so it’s best assessed by a qualified caravan repairer.
Will it fix a poorly loaded van?
No. Proper loading, ball weight and tyre pressures are essential. Stability control is a safety net — not a substitute for safe setup.
Is there a warranty?
Manufacturer warranty applies to the system, and our workmanship is covered by our service warranty. Ask us for details for your specific van.
Do I still need weight distribution hitches if I have an electronic stability system?
These two tools serve different purposes. Weight distribution hitches help balance the load, while a stability system actively intervenes when sway becomes dangerous. Using both together provides the highest level of towing safety.
How can I tell if my caravan’s stability system is functioning properly?
Most systems run a self-diagnostic when you connect the caravan. You may see an indicator light or hear an alert if there’s an issue. If you notice unusual braking, inconsistent sway control, or error messages, get it checked by a professional.
