Hi all, I have an ABI Target 575, (25" overall length), twin axle caravan and I have no handbook, I need to know what the tyre pressures should be for general towing, its unladen weight is 1120kgs and its maximum laden weight is 1500kgs. Nose weight is 75kgs, not sure if it matters anyway? I...

I have been towing for a fair few years and grew up watching my dad for many years before that, I always try to reverse onto a pitch to the right so I can see out of my window as to where the wheels are heading, I feel also that, as my caravan is 25 foot long, it is easier to manouvre than my...

I don't have any problems where BMW servicing is concerned, being a huge fan of BMW cars, I have had several BMW's two of which were good tow cars, I still have a BMW 5 series but its currently off the road due to be given a much needed bodywork rework as its a tyred 1989 model. Still has an...

Hi all, I have a Vauxhall Omega 2.0GLS Estate, I bought it specifically for towing my ABI Target 575, Its maximum laden weight is 1500kgs and I work out that I am well within the 85% limit, When I bought the van from Cheddar, I drove back to Oxford along the M5 and the M4 with ease, It was a...

Where can parts be obtained for ABI's. Am i right in thinking that ACE took over ABI as they now have the Award range. I have an ABI Target 575 twin axle. And it would be nice to have piece of mind knowing where I can obtain spares if I need to.

Again, Go to your local dealer, we were quoted by some day dreamer 450 but at our local dealer we were quoted 95 so a big difference.

I've just phoned a company in devon who has an ad in the back of practical caravan, they are supplying me with a complete touring sky package free of charge, I've had to subscribe to this though and have opted for the 21 pound package. We don't have sky at home but we will buy a mini dish and...

I've used snake pass lots of times, once was in a transit car transporter with a trailer which was also loaded with a vehicle. If you drive reasonably according to what your towing you should be fine, i used the gearbox most of the time. I wouldnt worry about people behind you as caravanners...

Sorry if I am repeating what anyone else says but theres so many responses. What I would say is that you cannot really avoid the suction effect but you can remove some of the effect with such things as stabilizers, but even so, you cannot make much difference. I am a driver of either a large van...

I'm 27 and my partner is 22, we have two children, a daughter aged 14 months and a little boy aged 6 weeks. My parents always took my caravanning with my brother and now I drive a Vauxhall Omega and pull an ABI Target 575 which is twin wheeled and is 24 ft long. I think that more younger people...

Shiraz, I personally go for twin axle due to the size inside. You can get fairly long single axle caravans but I find towing a twin axle more pleasurable, My current caravan is an ABI Target 575 which is 24ft long and my Vauxhall Omega 2.0 hardly feels it. When pitching just reverse to the...
