two whinges I had was; 1, every bump the van hit was transfered into the Pathie, and 2, when turning a corner at a slow speed, the WDH groaned and carried on noisily.
Well, on the long weekend, I forgot to pump up the air bag suspension. We barely felt any bumps from the van. It seems its making the ride too harsh and taking out too much of the rear suspension play.....
At the caravan show, I had a chat with the HR rep and asked about the noide. Originally I had thought it was the bars hitting the safety chain bracket, or the chains themselves, but again on the weekend realised that wasn't the case. Anyway, the rep believed it to be fairly common (as others here have mentioned) and suggested it is the bottom of the bars rubbing across the top of the hitch plate thing where they connect. He recommended to file the edge down of the plate down to make a nice chamfer around it, and then spray INNOX before connecting the bars. (and wipe it off again when removing the bars).
