    Introduction SAFETY This handbook contains the information that you will require for safe enjoyment of your tourer. All of the information contained herein is important. However to draw your attention to specific items we have prefixed them with the following symbols to indicate a warning, caution or note respectively: Warnings are items that if ignored can cause the user(s) physical harm.
  • Page 13: Introduction

    ▲ The towing vehicle and towing hitch handbooks/manufacturers must be consulted for their specification prior to towing. ▲ The maximum static nose weight for all Bailey caravans is 100Kg. This should never be exceeded regardless of whether the towing vehicle’s upper limit is greater.
  • Page 14: Measurement Of Nose Weight

    Nose weight may be measured using a proprietary brand of nose weight indicator. Such equipment is obtainable from your Bailey Dealer. Another simple method is to use bathroom scales and a suitable piece of strong timber as a platform to rest the tow hitch on.
  • Page 15: Recommended Tow Ball Height

    ▲ Always consult your tow vehicle manufacturer for advice on towing and the loads that the vehicle is capable of towing. 2.2.4 Recommended tow ball height The recommended tow ball height for Bailey Caavans is 415 +/- 35mm (i.e. between 380mm and 450mm). 2.2.5 Secondary braking cable (Break away device) Purpose - To apply a trailer’s brakes if it becomes separated from its towing vehicle.

  • Page 19 Caravan & Tow Vehicle When reversing aim the tow ball of the car directly at the caravan towing hitch. When the car’s tow ball is as close to the caravan’s towing hitch as possible fully apply the car’s handbrake, turn off the engine and leave the car in first gear (Park or ‘P’ Position for Automatics). The final positioning should be carried out by manoeuvring the caravan by hand.
  • Page 20: Towing

    Caravan & Tow Vehicle Pick up any levelling pads or levelling boards. Check round the caravan for anything left behind. Fully release the caravan’s handbrake. Carry out a second check that the hitch is secure and the secondary braking cable is connected. Adjust all of the car’s driving mirrors from driving seat to ensure good rear wards visibility.
  • Page 21: Mirrors

    Caravan & Tow Vehicle Reduce speed in high winds, cross winds, downhill or in poor visibility. High sided vehicles such as lorries or coaches can cause air buffeting, so extra care must be taken when passing or being passed. Give as much space as is possible between your caravan and the high sided vehicle.
