Has anyone else had experience of a caravan suddenly detaching itself from the towing vehicle.
Happened to us last week despite certainty that it was properly hitched up. This was a brand new caravan and the first time out with it. Fortunate that it happened on a minor road a short distance from where it was stored so we were able to get it back in to the yard.
Some damage to one of the rear panels but mainly concerned about whether or not there is a fault with the hitch itself as this happened a second time when we tried to tow it back in and ended up using the motor mover. The sellers are adamant that there is no way it could detach if it was on ok. I have been towing trailers and caravans for almost 50 years so know how to hitch up.
Anyone who has similar incidents or advice please respond.
Currently processing insurance claim but may have to make a warranty claim as well
