Clever concept. I think his mo would give him stability if he had too many drinks. ;D

ESC looks good.
Looks like it might not be too hard to retro-fit if needed.

OSC came standard on the Coota......Organic Stability Control......... ;D

Seems like a cheap piece of insurance to me, I might ring Jayco about getting it fitted.

Like most insurance I hope it is a complete waste of money  and I never need it.......

Would like to hear from anyone who has experience with it if possible.

Just note this bit that I also found in the FAQ section though

Q. Is AL-KO ESC suitable for use in rough terrain off road situations?

A. AL-KO ESC should be disconnected for serious off road use as extreme bumps and rough terrain could activate the ESC.
AL-KO ESC is safe to use on unpaved roads.

Almost makes you want to buy a 24ft caravan and get one fitted doesn't it >:D

With the lack of towing experience drivers have ...or get ...it is a great safety device when towing anything with a bit of weight on board. Many years ago I had an incident when a load shifted in a 7x4 box trailer .. a mixture of firewood and basketball sized rocks... and if it wasn't for my passenger mate's knowledge and quick words I would have come unstuck, I could see this device working well in that type of situation for sure .       Good clip
