When turning a twin axle caravan by hand, raise the jockey wheel as high as you can so the rear of the van is just of the floor. This will raise the front axle putting most of the weight on the rear axle and this will make it easier to turn, just like a single axle caravan. |

Jack-knifing can be a common problem when reversing around a tight corner, but one which is easily solved. Pull slightly forward, and turn the wheel 'full lock' - this time, the other way. This will soften the angle of the turn so you can continue following the caravan round the bend. |

When reversing your caravan, whichever mirror the caravan becomes more apparent in, steer into this and the caravan will correct itself. |

When maneuvering, if you have a 4x4 with a low range, use that for greater control and much lower speeds without excessive clutch wear. |
