When you have a vehicle designed to retard three and a half plus tons as standard. Then the brakes are iffy with your mobile road block attached, would have thought that the caravan brakes being dodgy was pretty obvious.

Don't know how old or how long you've owned the caravan, but the the first thing I do when buying a trailer is to service/overhaul the running gear...or could it be just a lack of caravan servicing for a weekend gipsy.....:behindsofa:

was when i first bought the caravan
on its first run home its was like "#### it takes some stoping" not dangerusly just enough to notice and since i knew the brake pads were due for replace and i had a suspected warped disc i thought id upgrade!!
wasnt until i pulled it out when i got to the site i unhooked it and the van was started to roll off i had to realy yank the hand brake up to stop it and it was then i relised the brakes arnt as good as maybe they should be

I read that with a caravan/trailer you should use wheel chocks on a slope just in case the brakes should fail...first rule of safety...
