seriously tho is it possible to lift the caravan but not with airbags (about an inch maybe two), also do people recon it would mess with the way it handles behind you?

after looking properly today it is pritty low anyway when its level so wouldnt mind it to be a little higher and that would just help the tow issue aswell

Range Rover Blues:
Older caravans had coil springs, dampers and swing axles.  If you find this is what yours has then there will be a pull-rod within the coil itself having a nut on the top, tighten this nut and yes it will go up, be carefull not to induce too much camber though.

The front really needs dropping, the brakes won't work at that hieght either.  A removable tow hitch is the best solution, I would not advise using an adjustable that extends below the reach of a standard tow bar as this increases the leverage on the rear crossmember and can lead to severe damage especially in a rear end collision.
