Missed out a vital bit of information, it needs to have 7 seats. Also it wouldn't replace the current main family car (Kuga) and I like my creature comforts so I don't want a van ;-)

Yeah I'm just going to go an take the B+E test, found a couple of places yesterday. Also need to find a car, as I said the Hobby still wins but with a MAM of 1900kg, I need to find a car, the only option I can really find without going up to Land Rover, Audi Q7 territory which I cannot afford is...

I thought I'd got it last night but then I realised in the night that I think I got it wrong again. I said yesterday that we'd looked at the Swift Challenger 590 (MTPLM: 1565kg) and that even though we weren't keen it could be towed by our preferred car option of the Seat Alhambra (Kerb weight...

Well I'm glad it wasn't just me who was confused by it all ;-) I went to see the Hobby's today as typically my wife like the biggest one (2200kg mam) which I can't even find an affordable car to tow it. On the way back we dropped into a normal dealer and looked at a Swift Challenger 590, wasn't...

Thanks, I'm currently looking at options to get my B+E extension. Just to clarify, if the MAM of the trailer can't exceed the unladen weight of the tow car, I couldn't tow any of the above caravans with the cars I'm looking at?

The brochure states that that weight includes full tank of water, gas tank, etc... Basically everyone who passed their test after 97 is ruled out of towing a family sized caravan on a standard license. Has anyone taken the b+e test? Thanks

Hello, I'm new to the forum and new to caravanning (in the sense of towing myself). Apologies if this is the wrong group to post in but I'm looking for some clarification of what combination of tow car and caravan I can drive with my B license (Past test in 2005). So first of all my...
