    My opinion is, just a guide, every van or trailer is different, it's not that simple.

    Caravan loading video

    Don't know if this has been linked to here before. It's an improved version of a test I saw a few years back.



    The last bit is quite interesting, to say the least!

    To quote a comment on that video.
    "The obvious lesson here is, don't let a giant hand push your vehicle while you're pulling a trailer."
    I concur.
