This one is for the towers, particularly ones with lowered cars.
Do you have any bottoming out issues and have you done anything to prevent it?
I'm a bit concerned that after I fit my new springs I might have issues as bump stops aren't recommend.

Would this sort be any use?

I have a couple of trailers, a single axle and a double axle plant trailer which I use with the old bus, not had any probs thus far provided the trailer is loaded correctly.
I've not towed a caravan for a long time, so not 100% on that particular item but I know they can be hitch heavy so may pull the back of your car down a bit more.

I agree with Rob on this one, most noseweights are 70ish kg or at least my Westfalia detachable is, so weight distribution is important. I've had mine bottom out once on my stock rear springs with 4 people and a boot full going over speed bump

Yes I was mistaken, I couldn't remember my nose weight. Its around 75-80kg.
I'm going to be adding Grayson spring assisters to my coils when I tow from now on.
