Hello all.
just took the plunge and ordered a new tow car. we went for.
Insignia 1.6cdti SRI (136bhp) - kerbweight 1613kg - gross weight - 2140kg.
The caravan in question is a Bailey persuit 530/4 with a MTPLM - 1377kg.
The total weight for the outfit is 3517kg.
My question to you all is - I passed my driving test june 1997 so only hold a cat b licence with a MAM of 3500Kg. So do I need to take the cat B&E test or can I just ensure that the total weight is lower that 3500kg by carefully loading the car and van.
My wife holds a pre jan 1997 licence so thats my other option!!! dont think she would be to keen to do the drive to the Vendee next year though. :lol:
I would be greatful for your thoughts.
Thansks in advance.
Tony
