Caravan & motorhome parts

A caravan shares its running gear with other braked trailers — the same overrun brake, wheel brakes, bearings and lighting. What is specific to caravans and motorhomes is the 230 V hook-up equipment. This page routes you to both.

Mains power and hook-up

The equipment that is genuinely caravan and motorhome specific: CEE connectors, adapters and extension leads for site hook-up, all IP44 rated.

• Mains power
• Cable accessories

Overrun brake and coupling

• Overrun brakes
• Overrun brake parts
• Coupling heads
• Coupling dampers
• Breakaway cables

If the brake feels weak or the caravan pushes on the towbar, start with overrun brake not working or replacing the overrun damper.

Wheel brakes and bearings

Brake parts are chosen by drum dimension rather than by caravan model — measure the drum first. The guide on searching parts for wheel brakes covers the three ways to identify yours.

• Brake shoes
• Brake drums
• Brake cables
• Drums & bearings
• Hub caps

Support and manoeuvring

• Jockey wheels
• Jockey wheel clamps
• Support legs

Lighting and 12 V

• Tail lights
• Spare lenses
• Number plate lights
• Adapters
• Electrical plugs
• Electrical sockets

Bodywork and security

• Mudguards
• Hitchlocks
• Trailer wheels

Before you tow

Check tyre pressure, wheel nut torque and axle load. All guides are in guides & FAQ.
