Galaxy Automatic or manual

Y

I've towed with a manual Galaxy for 6 years and am now considering changing to a newer model. Has anybody any thoughts or comments on whether I should opt for an automatic or stick with a manual gearbox? All help most gratefully received.
 
Our Galaxy Auto was new before we towed, after we towed the gearbox fell to bits and it took 5 weeks to get it replaced!

Our van was a twin axle it will probabaly be fine with a lighter van
 
i have towed a coachman laser which weighed 1650 kgs fully laden with absolutely no problems with my galaxy tdi 130 which has the six speed manual box. i have never towed with a galaxy auto but i do know of one that was on rent to the company i work for, we used it as a staff bus whilst our usuall one was off the road it was running 24 hours a day continually around manchester and lasted about 4 weeks about 8000 miles before the gearbox overheated one day and was as the hire company said totally knackered. i would stear clear and stick with the manual, its a cracker.
