Towing Vehicles

Suitable Towing Vehicles

The caravan is manufactured for towing behind normal road cars and is not suitable for towing behind commercial vehicles.

It is strongly recommended that whenever a caravan is to be towed over rough terrain, e.g. a field or track, great care should be taken to ensure that no undue stress is placed upon the caravan via the hitch mounting, i.e. reduce speed.

If in doubt, please consult the chassis manufacturer and the towing vehicle manufacturer who will advise.
Touring caravans based on standard AL-KO chassis can be towed by four wheel drive off road leisure vehicles providing the unit is used to tow in a like manner to a conventional road going car and driven in the same considered manner.
Tow bar manufacturers should be consulted before towing a Swift twin axle caravan which are fitted with an uncompensated twin axle.
