Caravan Wheel Alignments
Wheel alignment is crucial for any tow vehicle - but for complete towing safety and comfort one should apply the same detail to your trailer too. Everything has to be right to enable your caravan or camper trailer to handle correctly and be stable on the road.
Most caravans and camper trailers these days are built with independent suspension which allows us to take our caravans and camper trailers to some places we have previously not been able to. These suspensions systems however, are suspect to miss-alignment. Sometimes this is because of the places we take them, general wear and tear, but most often the suspension system has not been aligned from factory.
This miss-alignment causes premature tyre wear and not only that but the extra rolling resistance added in results in your tow vehicle having significantly higher fuel consumption. It is also harder to handle on the road.
Most manufacturers recommend a wheel alignment every 10,000klm.
As for solid axle caravans and camper trailers, there are no adjustments possible but we can check for axle damage.
So if you have never had your caravan or camper trailer wheels aligned, your due for a service or you suspect something is not right, then contact us. Our wheel alignment service, which we conduct with our laser beam wheel aligner can help keep you safe on the road the next time you want to get away.
