Here are some tips before hitting the road with a heavy trailer.
Driving a vehicle connected to a heavy caravan requires preparation and care.

- Checking and setting recommended tyre pressures
- Correctly connecting the caravan to the BT-50’s Mazda Genuine Accessories tow bar
- Removing the caravan’s jockey wheel for safety
- Checking the caravan’s lights and brakes work correctly
- Equipping yourself with the right accessories for the drive
