• Secure all items inside the caravan to prevent shifting while in motion.
• Adhere to weight limits and load your caravan properly for balanced weight distribution.
• Follow safe driving practices, including maintaining a safe speed, allowing for ample braking distance, and adjusting your driving style for caravan towing.
• Carry emergency supplies such as a first aid kit, roadside assistance information, and emergency contact numbers.
