All of these guidelines and comments have to be taken in proportion.

I would suggest that your 'on paper' badly paired set up, with your 10k experience pulling it, is a darn site safer on the road than my inexperienced loading and towing of an arguably better matched set up!!!

I concur with those folks querying your outfit - the vw tiguain is clearly a bad match for your caravan - I would upgrade your tow vehicle to a vw touareg immediately

I'm beg to disagree thosoneil, to be on the safe side any one of these would be a far better option, (assuming one values the principles of towing vehicletrailer ratio guidance).

Oh thank you Mel,

I'm actually very calm at the moment, Pear cider in hand and the prospects a large single malt later on :p but the question is deadly serious :huh: , and if the poster wanted to be humorous perhaps the should have made it clear.

As I have often pointed out the element that has the biggest effect on towing is the driver :evil:
