2.4 Handling Performance

Driving
Take a test drive or a safety training course be-
fore the first long drive to better acquaint your-
self with the carriage in driving conditions.
Rules for driving
•
Do not underestimate the length of the
carriage.
•
Exercise special caution when driving toward
yards and through gates.
•
In conditions with strong side winds, slick ice
or wet roads, the carriage could move back
and forth.
•
Adjust driving speed to overall street and traf-
fic conditions.
•
Long, lightly sloping roads are potentially
dangerous. Measure your speed from the
outset in such a manner that the carriage can
be accelerated, if necessary, without endan-
gering other drivers or pedestrians.
•
If the carriage moves back and forth on a
sloping road, brake carefully but rapidly if the
carriage forms a line, i.e. if it is stretched.
•
Never increase speed if the carriage be-
comes pendulous.
•
Do not drive down a hill any faster than you
would drive up one.
•
When overtaking or being overtaken by trucks
or buses, the carriage can be caught up in air
suction. This may cause the carriage to swerve
or fishtail.
Driving around curves
Your carriage is considerably longer than a car.
Rules for driving around curves
•
Do not take curves too quickly or too sharply!
•
Take the curve at a somewhat wider radius
when turning.
•
Note that the camper can sheer out of line over
the rear.
Please note that by installing a bicycle carrier on
the drawbar you may reduce the steering angle
between the car and the camper.
