Struggling with a swaying caravan or trailer? At Caravan and Trailer Clinic Geelong, we install sway control systems designed to reduce side-to-side movement and give you a more confident towing experience. Sudden wind gusts, passing trucks, uneven roads or incorrect weight balance can all cause your caravan to shift unexpectedly. A quality sway control setup limits those movements, helping your vehicle and caravan stay aligned so you can focus on the road rather than fighting for control. We ensure each system is properly matched to your tow vehicle and caravan so you get stability that actually makes a difference.
Reducing sway is about safety, smoother handling and less strain on your vehicle. If you want towing that feels calm and controlled, call us on (03) 9111 9953 to book a sway control installation in Geelong.

Why Sway Control Matters
A good sway control system does more than correct movement; it helps prevent it. By limiting unwanted side-to-side shifts, it improves steering response, reduces sway in changing conditions and makes long-distance towing less tiring. It also eases strain on suspension parts, tyres and tow connections, helping your setup stay in better condition over time.
Key advantages include:
- Better Road Control: Keeps the caravan aligned with your vehicle for smoother driving.
- More Stable Steering: Reduces sudden pull, wobble or push when conditions change.
- Improved Safety: Helps stop minor sway from developing into a serious issue.

With the right sway control system, towing becomes safer and far more predictable, giving you confidence every time you head out on the road. Reach out for all enquiries!
FAQ
What causes caravan sway while towing?
Caravan sway is commonly triggered by crosswinds, passing trucks, incorrect weight distribution, under-inflated tyres or travelling at high speeds with an unbalanced load. Poor suspension, worn components or an oversized caravan for the tow vehicle can also contribute. When these factors combine, the caravan begins to shift side to side. A sway control system helps stabilise this movement and reduces the chance of it escalating into a dangerous situation.
Can sway control fix all towing stability issues?
Sway control improves stability, but it works best when combined with correct towing practices. Proper weight distribution, correct tyre pressure, suitable towball weight and a tow vehicle matched to your caravan size all play essential roles. If sway continues even with a sway control system installed, it may indicate a load imbalance, suspension issue or unsuitable towing setup that should be inspected.
How do I know if I need a sway control system?
If your caravan feels unstable, wobbles when trucks pass, shifts in wind or feels difficult to keep straight, sway control can help. Travellers who tow in open, windy regions or frequently drive highways often benefit the most. It’s also recommended for heavier caravans, long-distance touring or anyone towing with added cargo that shifts the weight distribution.
