Towing a Caravan, Trailer or Boat? What to Do If Something Goes Wrong

Caravans, trailers and boats need a different kind of towing altogether — more weight, more length, and a lot more that can go wrong if the vehicle doing the pulling isn’t up to the job. Here’s when to call in specialist help.

Your tow vehicle has broken down mid-journey

If the car towing your caravan or trailer breaks down, you can’t simply call a standard breakdown service — most won’t recover the trailer as well. We handle both the vehicle and whatever it’s pulling in one call-out.

A hitch or coupling failure

A damaged hitch, snapped safety chain or coupling that won’t lock properly means the trailer isn’t safe to keep towing, even if the car itself is fine. We can recover the trailer separately and get both back on the road safely.

Boat transport after a breakdown

Boats on trailers add extra height, weight and width to think about. If your tow vehicle fails while transporting a boat anywhere in South East London, we have the equipment to move it safely to storage or your next destination.

Recovery Car provides specialist caravan, trailer and boat towing across Greenwich, Woolwich, Plumstead and South East London, available 24/7.
