Thank you all all that contributed to the post. Some really helpful information, certainly learnt a great deal, got my out of trouble for nearly buying a q5 and hopefully made the right decisions car wise to keep me on the right weight and with a good tow ratio. Van is now in Edinburgh for the...

Fantastic answer thanks. It all makes sense. I will be loading car only and either using my golf or the VRS estate. Sadly it’s not the 4x4 it’s the dsg though and slightly heavier I believe.

I can’t find the kirb weight I’ve looked. There are loads of variants that’s what I’m struggling with Max weight is 1980 Towing is 1600

Why are you still replying? I’m asking you not to.

Can someone say if this is better more suited than the golf? I’m not sure it is?

Just drove a Vrs Estate dsg. Not the 4x4 version really liked it. Just looking at weights now.

Nice! Good to know it can be done. Likely hood is I will use the Golf, load that and limit loading in the van. Then get the test done and buy something bigger next year. Slim chance I’ll sort an alternate car. But least the golf is legal and hopefully loaded up will add some weight to it.

Skoda looks good, going to price one and an a5.

Cheers Hutch. I’m going no where :side:

So just to re affirm as I have said this they are just now over 4 pages. I already own the caravan. As it’s the one I wanted and the wife fell in love with it. It max weight is 1430. I am limited to towing 3500 kgs until I pass the extra test. Which isn’t happening this year. I have a Golf...

Just don’t reply.

Q5s as the dealership said the max is 2440 It’s annoying the sales person quoted 1940 which is fine. He said it’s not the max but what’s loaded into the car but I think that’s bull.

Rang again There are two numbers one is mass in service at 1940 Other is max permissible mass at 2440.

I rang the dealership he said mass in service I think, I’ll have to call again. He seemed to know what he was talking about as pulled horse boxes himself.

Cheers. Guessing this is the same as gross weight then? I could get a 2.0. Just working on worse case. Already got the van. Max weight is 1430
