Yeah it's more the wobble in the sidewall of the tyre I was talking about, but then I suppose they don't have suspension so the tyre profile is all it has to damp it over bumps. Hmmm yes I see the problem, glad I don't design caravans for a living (if I did they would all have a built in self destruct machanism, even though they seem to do a reasonable job of destroying themselves on the M5! ).

Caravans do have suspension, and the latest model of mine comes with shock absorbers

A comfy pikey is a happy pikey

I got stuck behind one of those (and there are plenty of them in the UK these days) last weekend - I couldn't overtake it even on the decent road up the west side of Loch Lomond last weekend because it was so dammed long towing a Merc SL55 on a trailer behind it - Defenders need looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong straights to wind uo enough go to get passed rigs that long! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks guys - Caravan collected today - 100 miles home and no problems - still returned 22 mpg!!!

Ordered the wing morrors suggested and they still haven't arrived! So plan b was to borrow my Dads. Get down to the handovewr location - start to fit them and one of the rubber bands snaps...great! So - drove back with no wing mirrors after all that.

Ihave Tyron bands fitted aswell - hope I don't ever have to use them.Thanks for the posts - most informative.

I wouldn't mind one of those Airstream caravans. Think it would look pretty smart behind the RRS.

Shame they are so damm expensive.......cheaper to rent a cottage/house or stay in a Hotel. TDV6 - gone
