ORIS: SO YOU CAN TOW YOUR CARAVAN SAFELY TO YOUR DESTINATION

Freedom often begins where everyday life ends. When you travel with a caravan, you decide where the journey takes you. To a campsite by the sea, a pitch in the mountains, a weekend break by the lake or a longer holiday trip with the family.

To ensure that vehicle and caravan are safely connected, you need a towbar you can rely on. ORIS towbars create exactly this connection. They help ensure that towing vehicle and caravan work together reliably in everyday use, on holiday journeys and in demanding driving situations.

Safe caravan travel with ORIS

For holidays, campsites and spontaneous breaks: towbars for caravans

A caravan is more than just a trailer. It is a holiday companion, a retreat and a mobile home. That makes it all the more important to have a towbar that not only fits mechanically, but also performs reliably in everyday use.

When towing a caravan, secure locking, high load capacity and a reliable connection are essential. Especially with loaded caravans, long journeys and changing road conditions, the towbar must meet demanding requirements at all times.

ORIS towbars stand out for safety and reliability

ORIS develops towbars for numerous vehicle models and different areas of use. Depending on the vehicle and application, fixed towbars, detachable towbars or fully electrically swivelling towbars are available.

For caravan travel, this means that the towbar must match the vehicle, meet the specified load requirements and be easy to use in everyday life. This is exactly where ORIS combines many years of experience in developing high-quality towbar systems with practical solutions for leisure, holidays and everyday mobility.

The right towbar for your caravan

Camping means freedom, but it also means preparation. When travelling with a caravan, you use your vehicle differently than in everyday driving. Sometimes it is fully loaded for a summer holiday, sometimes it is a spontaneous weekend trip to the lake, and sometimes it is a longer tour with a bike carrier and additional luggage. That is exactly why you need a towbar that fits your life.

ORIS offers different solutions for this. For anyone who regularly tows a caravan and wants a permanently ready connection, a fixed towbar is a particularly robust choice. It is reliable, straightforward and always ready when the next holiday, transport task or trip is coming up.

If you prefer to keep your vehicle's original look in everyday use, a detachable towbar is a suitable option. The towbar neck is only fitted when it is actually needed, for example for a caravan, trailer or bike carrier. After the journey, it can be removed again and the vehicle retains its discreet appearance.

A fully electrically retractable towbar offers even greater convenience. It is the ideal choice for drivers who value comfort, modern operation and high-quality integration. At the touch of a button, the towbar neck is ready for use or discreetly stored away again. This keeps the vehicle flexible for everyday use, travel and leisure.

The right coordination is always essential. Vehicle, caravan, load, nose weight and permitted towing capacity must all be compatible. Relaxed travel does not start at the campsite. It starts with a safe connection between towing vehicle and caravan.

Important key figures before travelling with a caravan

Before a vehicle and caravan combination sets off, the most important values should be checked. The first is the permitted towing capacity. It specifies the maximum weight the vehicle is allowed to tow. The details can be found in the vehicle registration certificate. What matters is that the actual weight of the loaded caravan does not exceed this value.

The nose weight is just as important. It describes the weight pressing down on the towball of the towbar. Depending on the vehicle and towbar, this value is often between 50 and 100 kilograms. The specifications of the towing vehicle, towbar and caravan are always decisive. The lowest permitted value defines the limit.
