An open fire is a common sight across caravan and camping communities. However, there are some real risks associated with it.

Caravan sway is one of the most common causes of caravan accidents on the road and can be caused by poor weight distribution, uneven tyre pressure, poor suspension, side winds and entering slipstreams of heavy vehicles such as semi-trailers.
