Caravan tyre safety goes under the spotlight

CARAVANNERS are being urged to check their tyres as part of a major safety campaign.

Not-for-profit organisation TyreSafe has launched a new section on its website dedicated to caravan tyre safety.

It is timed to coincide with the start of the 10th annual National Camping and Caravanning Week, which runs until June 4.

The pages provide a host of technical tips and information aimed at helping to keep the record number of UK caravan owners safe and legal on the roads.

TyreSafe chairman Stuart Jackson said: “The popularity of camping and caravanning has grown massively in recent years and many of those new to caravanning may not appreciate the high demands placed on their caravan’s tyres.

"Making sure your caravan’s tyres are in a good condition, correctly inflated and not overloaded is a vital factor in staying safe on the road.”
