Caravan Breakaway Systems

Breakaway Systems Built for Reliability and Peace of Mind

Towing a trailer or caravan needs the right gear to keep things running smoothly. Breakaway systems help keep your trailer steady and in control if the unexpected happens. Our range offers reliable and simple options that suit all kinds of towing setups. With these systems, you can tow with confidence on every trip.

Why Choose a Breakaway System?

Breakaway systems give you extra control by activating the trailer brakes if needed. They work by activating your trailer’s brakes if it disconnects from your tow vehicle. This helps to reduce movement and keeps the trailer from rolling freely. It gives you more control during unexpected situations.

These systems are built for a variety of trailers, including caravans, horse floats, and heavy-duty setups.

Outfit Your Caravan for Reliable Towing

A breakaway system is essential, but other accessories can make towing smoother and more efficient. For better control during towing, towing mirrors can improve visibility and help you keep an eye on your trailer. You can also protect your caravan’s exterior with stone shields to reduce the risk of damage on rough roads.

These additions help keep your towing setup dependable and ensure your caravan is ready for every journey.

What does a breakaway system do?

A breakaway system automatically engages your trailer's brakes if it disconnects from the tow vehicle. It helps keep the trailer under control by applying the brakes and reducing movement.

Can I use my breakaway system as a parking brake?

No, a breakaway system is not designed to replace a parking brake. It is intended for emergencies only and should not be used to keep the trailer stationary when parked.

What type of trailers can use a breakaway system?

Breakaway systems are suitable for single, dual, or multi-axle trailers. A single-axle trailer has one set of wheels, while a dual-axle trailer has two sets of wheels for better weight distribution and stability. Multi-axle trailers refer to setups with more than two axles, often used for heavy-duty loads. It’s important to choose a breakaway system that matches your trailer’s axle and braking design.
