I tow trailers for a living and these are great tips. However I would caution on leaving the trailer hitched up. Depending on the length and weight of a trailer/ caravan, you could place excessive force on the hitch plus exceed the capacity of the jack, if your starting to unload the suspension of the tow car.
Great top tips for towing , however a caravan, especially brand new, is an expensive asset and in the nearly 25 years of towing a caravan I’ve always had Tyron Bands fitted to all my vans and despite never being in the unfortunate position of having a puncture or a blow out, Tyron Bands give you that piece of mind, especially with the introduction of so called “Smart Motorways”, for you to be able to continue towing at very low speed and find a suitable parking area to be able to have the tyre changed by either you or a professional. Tyron Bands work by keeping the tyre from coming off the rim and causing the caravan to become uncontrollable and also cause expensive damage to the caravan wheel arch and wheel. A cheaper alternative at a couple of hundred pounds to what it could be if disaster strikes.👍
