Pull bars are fitted with a selection of towing hitches. Many common caravans and trailers make do with a 50 mm ball, while off-road versions might require a more technical off-road hitch. Caravans and trailers should be equipped with security restaurants; these must certanly be firmly attached with the towing vehicle.

In 1999 the National Street Transport Commission (NRTC) presented some suggested towing limits, of adopted by all Claims Towbars and Territories. Until that time as much as five different towing restricts used across Australia, which meant plenty of frustration for caravanners crossing State and Terrain borders.

The national rules, as laid out by the NRTC, suggest that the weight of the filled caravan must not surpass the suggested restrict as given by the manufacturer of the towing car, or the stated capacity of the towing device fitted to the vehicle. If producer has not given restricts, which, surprisingly, is not that unusual, the fat of the filled caravan should be number several and a half situations the unloaded weight of the towing vehicle, provided the caravan is equipped with brakes.

Weight Circulation We've all seen the automobile and caravan mix with the hitch nearly dragging on the road. Weight-distribution bars, commonly offered by caravan accessory stores, may be used to steadfastly keep up a more level profile of the vehicle and van. These are generally typical equipment for larger vans, but should really be regarded for several but the lightest of vans. The problem may also be resolved by correct loading.
