    Which Caravan?

    I have a ford mondeo 130hp 07 2.0 TDCi (previous shape) and am looking to buy a 4 berth caravan with rear wash room. I am very concerned about weight/stability as I am a total novice with soon to be two young children. Any recommendations on suitable caravans gratefully received. Thanks
