I cant see any trailer stopping in a straight line once its broken away from the tow vehicle. application of brakes are more likely to make it go wildly out of control ( or nose into the bituimen and catapault) than none at all. on a tandem, applying rear brakes only would make more sense ???
Hi Everyone,
I don't get back to the site as much as I'd like...too busy traveling I guess.
I thought I would give a quick update on my Dec 2010 post on this topic.
I have now completed over 85,000km in my D4 HSE. About 65,000km have been towing my 24' - 3.3 ton fully loaded caravan.
I can honestly say that the D4 is still the same superb towing vehicle today as it was 3 years ago when I started. It's a great towing vehicle and I have not had any issues towing with it. I still have the standard LR towing hitch and the same stuff as I said in my Dec 2010 post.
As well as some NSW and Vic based activity I have been to Darwin and separately to Townsville. On another trip we went as far north as Cooktown and then across to Karumba via the Savannah Way and then returned to Sydney.
Shortly we will hit the road again and this time we are off to Tasmania for four months and then WA for the rest of 2014. What a great life.
Cheers
George
Lucky devil George :D
What fuel usage are you achieving if you don't mind me asking?
