Snaking
This is a term used to denote an unstable car and
caravan combination where the caravan 'weaves' from
side to side often causing a similar swaying movement
in the car itself. Possible causes are:
Insufficient tyre pressure on either the caravan or the
tow vehicle.
Tow vehicle too light or weight distribution.
Incorrect loading or weight distribution.
Excessive speed especially downhill.
Side winds.
Overtaking.
Being overtaken by a high-sided vehicle.
Erratic driving.
Mixing radial and cross ply tyres.
Nose of the caravan is towing too high.
Insufficient nose weight.
For best stability aim at an 85% ratio of weights.
Stabilisers
A stabiliser should never be used to try to improve a
caravan/towing vehicle combination that has poor
stability as instability may appear at high speed.
However, a good stabiliser can make an acceptable
caravan/towing vehicle combination more comfortable
and easier to handle.
Holes should not be drilled in either the coupling
head or 'A' Frame members without prior
consultation with the chassis manufacturer.
If you do find your outfit snaking, try to keep the steering
wheel in a central position as far as possible, slow down
gently and avoid braking if possible.
Road lighting
All caravans are fitted with a single 13 pin lead. Where the
connector for the car does not match that of the caravan
an adaptor or replacement cable will be required. Please

It is important that all the road lights on your Bailey
caravan are checked before you set out on a journey.
All lights must be working in the correct manner for the
vehicle to be road legal.
Clean the outside of the lights with a non abrasive or non
aggressive cleaning solution.
Always replace a lamp which is showing any sign of
damage.
