Whether it’s because it’s a newer car and we bought a brand new towbar, I don’t know, but when I park it up after use it takes very little turning of the wheel to get the caravan to turn. It parks up between a horse box and another caravan so the space is quite tight but it’s much easier than either of the 75s were.

A lot depends on the distance from the rear axle to the towball. If the car has a long boot, it swings more when reversing but will take longer to actually start to turn. Think of the axle and the towball as a triangle. Tall triangle with boot, short triangle with hatchback.
