Electric Caravan Coupling Adjustment
How to properly adjust the coupling nut
- Put pressure on the Electric Coupling head to ensure a firm on the tow-ball.
- Loosen the nut.
- Screw down the thread so that you can feel it touch the top of the tow ball.
- Now tighten the locking nut being careful not to unscrew the threaded screw.
Further, you have a cable adjust to check.
The cable running down to each handbrake lever should be tight but not overly tight. Adjust the cable brake adjuster just behind your handbrake until this cable is taut.
Finally, your coupling weight, when attached, should be around 8% of your total load. Your coupling should now be tight and ready to tow.
Sure, there are cheaper couplings on the market. We buy and recommend only the best products for your investment dollar.
