Hi, Triton 4x4- Regent Regal 12'6" Caravan-Do I need stabilisers? I was told when I bought it that I didn't need stabilisers. It doesn't sway but does bob up and down. At times it is like a roller coaster ride. A bad road will have us bobbing up and down and throwing things in the van all over the place. Would stabilisers hgelp and if so what sort? Many thanks for your help.

Big Ken,
What you need is a Weight Distribution Hitch.
Refer to the Hayman Reece Web Site below for more information.

Hold the cursor over Products, then click on Weight Distribution.
You may need a new hitch receiver to fit the Hitch distribution bars into.
All the info is referenced on the site. You can also purchase this equipment from Tow Bar outlets, etc.

Some more thoughts to assist you.
The "bucking" you are experiencing can also be due to too heavy a weight in front of the van's axle. You could try to move some weight towards the rear of the van if possible.
Another method is to install a set of Airbags to the rear springs of your vehicle to reduce sag. (if evident)
However, the Weight Distribution Hitch is a very common solution for many caravanner's and is probably worth getting, even if you need one or more of the other solutions.
