Thanks for the advice the attached is a pic of the weight plate on my vehicle. A braked towing weight of 1575KG (from memory) 750KG unbraked is also on the v5c.

It's also pretty much the same car as the Tiguan and that is also a popular tow car. Although the Kodiaq is much better looking inside and out IMO :) I've emailed the Skoda dealer selling the VRS which has a FF tow bar asking what the car will tow and what the nose weight of the tow bar is. This...

Having looked through auto trader there’re several kodiaqs and a couple of vrs models with tow bars fitted one of the vrs models has the factory fitted tow bar. I do think its a manufacturer way of squeezing a little more money out of their customers

I’d not go above the recommended towing weight and where possible I’d stick within the magical 85% I’ll see what Rainworth Skoda a main dealer say if they’d fit a tow bar then I’m happy its fine. Although I’m likely to go to an independent based on price

Thanks all for the advice and trouble replying. The v5 does have a towing capacity quoted as I type I don’t have it with me but I’ve definitely read it. I’m getting some encouragement from the fact that the weights sticker on the B post does quote towing weight. However, the info in the manual...

Has anyone on here got a Skoda Kodiaq VRS that you use for towing. I have a Kodiaq VRS there is no option to change the vehicle and we are looking for our 1st caravan. The information on the interweb of what you can tow if at all, vastly differs for this particular vehicle. For example...

Thanks guys the issue of insurance related to caravan / car weight hadn't crossed my mind, so it's something to consider. (y)

I currently have a BMW520 tourer I have the privilege of age on my side when it comes to licence. I have towed in the past just not recently and not a caravan

Thanks Kev I also like the 530 but from what I can see even that is more then the 85% rule seems only big SUV's are suitable

We really like the Adria range and especially the new Isonzo. I've posted in the tow car section my question regarding this. An alternative might be the Dart but it's narrower and the kitchen work surface space is rubbish!

Hi folks looking at buying the Isonzo either new or couple of years old IF I can find one. Question is do you have an Isonzo? what do you tow it with? I ask this because my current car can tow 2000KG max but it's not an 85% match for the Isonzo:( Thanks in advance

So new to the caravan life and looking at buying in the next few months. I currently have a BMW 520D tourer. We'd like an Adria Isonzo or similar either new or a couple of years old. I have the relevant licence having past my test in 1987. I've not towed much but I'd consider myself a...

Hi folks just signing in never had a caravan before and looking for our first one. As expected I've got a few questions which i will post in the relevant sections. (y)
