Drawbar Hardware

Caravan drawbar hardware is the essential component that attaches your caravan to your tow vehicle. It includes the coupling, safety chains, jockey wheels, and other accessories.

• Coupling: The coupling is the device that connects your caravan to your tow vehicle. It is usually made of steel or aluminium and has a ball or pin that fits into the tow hitch of your tow vehicle.
• Safety chains: Safety chains are essential for preventing your caravan from disconnecting from your tow vehicle in the event of a trailer breakaway. They are usually made of steel and are attached to the coupling on your caravan and to the tow hitch on your tow vehicle.
• Jockey wheel: The jockey wheel is a small wheel that is attached to the drawbar of your caravan. It is used to move your caravan around when it is not attached to your tow vehicle.
• Other accessories: There are a number of other accessories that can be used with caravan drawbar hardware, such as:
  • Drawbar stabilizers: Drawbar stabilizers help to prevent your caravan from swaying while you are towing it.
  • Drawbar locks: Drawbar locks prevent your caravan from being uncoupled from your tow vehicle without your permission.
  • Drawbar lights: Drawbar lights are used to illuminate the rear of your caravan when you are towing it at night.

When choosing caravan drawbar hardware, it is important to consider the weight of your caravan, the type of tow vehicle you have, and the towing conditions you will be using it in.

You should also make sure that the hardware is compatible with your caravan and tow vehicle.
