I am looking for a stabilizer for my camper trailer. I have seen so many caravans etc fish tailing onthe road it looks so dangerous. Has anyone bought and can recommend a suitable stabilizer?

Hi 404pug,
Camper Trailers / Offroad Campers don't require load equalizers as used on caravans, as they prevent the camper from articulating in offroad situations.
Caravans need them given their size (they are longer than a Campertrailer and weight more as well.)
It also gets back to how balanced they are.
I tow a 1.4T Offroad Tvan fitted with DO35 Offroad coupling from Track Trailer, and they never fit towing equalizers.
My suggestion is don't do it

Have a look at the Gall Boys Fraser island video. They ripped off the entire tow bar assembly off their prado because they left the stabilizers on.Cheers, Leon
There's no such thing as a wrong turn... it's just the scenic route!
