Stabilisers are not a legal requirement and many caravanners do not use them at all, but they do improve the towing characteristics of a well-matched outfit by dampening the swaying and pitching movement of the van as it articulates. Most stabilisers are friction devices and come in two forms: those that are part of the coupling (such as the AKS, Winterhoff and SSK) and those comprising a blade spring and friction disks such as the Bulldog. The gas-strut operated Straightliner, is the exception.
