I notice that modern caravans (even without extra stabiliser gadgets) do seem much more stable anyway. My Bailey seems completely unperturbed by being overtaken by the express coaches. I used to always feel the wash from them with previous caravans, I would feel the tub as they began coming alongside, then it would get worse as the got slightly ahead of the van and be pushed sideways then.

The Alko seems to offer much less friction and a lot less leverage for the friction to work on, so I was quite surprised to find they work so well. I kept my old spring stabiliser for several years after moving to an Alko, until my confidence built in it.
