OtherClive, Yes so it started of at circa 1490kg for the caravan but it seems to be increasing as the 3 caravans available to us with fixed single beds was the Bailey Cadiz S3, Swift Callenger 565 SE? & the Lunar Clubman SB. Unfortunately the first two caravans have one bed shorter than the...

Hi OtherClive, Thanks for your response, yes it just kinda makes sense to be able to reverse search a car suitable for towing, rather than go through many review sites and then check which ones would have suitable kerb weight. And yes I understand kerb weight alone may not create a suitable...

Hi all, So after a couple of slight delays such as rearing two puppies lol we are now ready to purchase a caravan for next season. As my current car is only 1510kg I'm looking to change car and buy a caravan (we would like fixed single beds so average caravan MTPLM is circa 1490kg) When faced...

Hi CarlosGee, what model did you have and what weight were you towing. Am looking to tow 1497 MTPLM with an 2013 Avensis Tourer 2.0 diesel, if I can keep the weight down to around 1410 MTPLM it should be about an 85% match. Cheers, Alan

Wow! Where from? We're in Weymouth lol

When/if we can get sorted with a van that's very much the type of weekend we'd enjoy... So who knows lol

Absolutely not OtherClive... Any and all tips are greatly appreciated!

Hi Hutch, Thanks for that Hutch, the van in question has two rear single fixed bed, so will avoid leaving items in there. However the majority of the time it will only be myself, the Boss and two Border Terriers max per trip, so there will be plenty of room in the back seats to relieve caravan...

Ah! meant to post this in the Technical category, can it be moved?

Hi all, We're about to embark on our first Caravan and quite like the Bailey Cadiz 2 which has MTPLM 1497kg MRO 1343kg. I drive an Avensis 2.0 4d4 Tourer (2013 model) and note the Mass in service is 1658kg, I assume this to be the vehicle kerb weight plus nominal allowance for driver? The...

Hi all, am new to the whole caravan experience and we are researching hard to find the best fit caravan for us. Look forward to catching up with you all on the forum! Regards Alan
