Call K9 for a caravan or motorhome in London and a driver is picked from the 3,000-strong network, matched to the size and weight of your outfit. A snapped hitch, a bent A-frame or a failed brake often means the caravan is carried rather than towed, and the car may need a second truck. Stuck in soft ground at a site, a winch pulls the outfit clear. Price is agreed over WhatsApp, no membership needed.

A blown tyre and a bent A-frame near Theydon Bois, handled properly
A caravan that has suffered a blown tyre and a bent A-frame on the approach to Theydon Bois cannot simply be hitched back up and towed on. The driver checks the hitch, the chassis and the brakes before deciding whether the caravan can be towed at low speed or needs to be carried.
A snapped hitch or a failed brake on the caravan rules out towing altogether, since neither the tow vehicle nor the caravan is safe to move that way. In that case the caravan goes on a flatbed or a suitable transporter instead, matched to its weight and length.
The car stays with its caravan throughout, whether the destination is a dealer for repair, a storage yard, or home near Debden.
Photos of the hitch and the chassis are sent to the owner by WhatsApp before any decision is made, so there is no surprise about whether the caravan is towed gently home or carried on a flatbed instead.
Soft ground at a site, and the routes a tall motorhome cannot take
Soft or waterlogged ground at a site, such as the Lee Valley Caravan Park at Sewardstone or the Crystal Palace Caravan Club Site after heavy rain, can trap a caravan or a motorhome well short of the gate. A winch and a mat or board under the wheels gets it onto firm ground without digging the pitch up further.
Height is the other constant problem. A tall motorhome that would normally cross at the Dartford Crossing or cut through at Clacket Lane on the M25 may need a different route entirely, and the same goes for low barriers at some car parks near Abbey Wood. A short list covers what usually needs checking first:
- Motorhome height against bridges and barriers on the route
- Ground conditions at the pitch or the roadside
- Whether the hitch or the A-frame is still sound
- Whether the caravan brakes are working
- Access width on the final approach to a site
A motorhome built on a van base can sometimes use routes a dedicated coachbuilt chassis cannot, since the overall height and the ground clearance vary more between models than most owners expect.
Two drivers, two vehicles: why a towing breakdown needs both recovered
When a car breaks down while towing on the Kingston bypass or a similar A-road, both vehicles usually need to leave together, and that can mean two drivers and two trucks rather than one. The tow car is recovered as a car, and the caravan is recovered as a caravan, each handled correctly rather than one being dragged behind the other on a makeshift hitch.
Coordinating both legs of the journey so the car and the caravan arrive at the same dealer, repairer or storage site takes a little more planning on the phone, but it means the owner is not left juggling two separate collections on top of an already stressful breakdown.
Insurance and ownership paperwork for the caravan sometimes needs to travel with it, particularly if the destination is a dealer for a warranty repair rather than straight back to a home driveway.
