Some advice from caravan owners please -

I have ordered a Coromal Pioneer offroader (tandem wheels & 1.35 tonne unladen) which has a Treg hitch and I am trying to decide whever I need level riders or not. The tow vehicle is a Patrol TD6 and as I will be going offroad with the van, I thought that putting on level riders would negate the benefit of having a Treg hitch - ie it would limit the angle and flexibility that the hitch is designed for.

I was told by the caravan dealer that I could put in a set of Polyair bags in the back of the Patrol, however I don't see that they will do the same job as level riders do - ie spread the weight from the back of the vehicle onto the front wheels evenly.

What do other offroad caravan owners do? Do you have level riders and just take them off when you go bush? The Coromal apparently has an excellent suspension system that stops the sway effect so apart from a sag in the back it seems that driving slowly on bush tracks would not be a problem.

Thanks for any assistance.
