TÜV Süd experts recommend taking several practice trips with a loaded caravan before the spring season, including highway sections. This is necessary to regain driving skills for the vehicle combination, especially in crosswinds and to control sway. Speed limits must be strictly observed, considering the increased braking distance.

TÜV Süd experts recommend that caravan owners, especially those who use them infrequently, undertake several practice drives with a loaded trailer before spring trips, including highway sections. This is necessary to adapt to side winds, long braking distances, and potential trailer sway. If sway occurs, they advise reducing speed, and if oscillations transfer to the car, to hold the steering wheel straight and perform a short, firm brake application.

TÜV Süd experts advise drivers who rarely tow caravans to undertake practice runs, including on motorways, before spring trips. This helps adapt to crosswinds, increased braking distance, and potential trailer sway, necessitating strict adherence to speed limits.

TÜV Süd experts recommend that drivers who rarely use caravans undertake practice drives, including on motorway sections, before a vacation trip. This is necessary to regain skills in handling a vehicle train, which has a longer braking distance and is prone to swaying in crosswinds. If oscillations occur, speed should be reduced; if they transfer to the car, the brake should be applied briefly but firmly while holding the steering wheel straight.
