Hi everyone
I am feeling a bit desperate and would appreciate your help. We are new to caravning and have just bought an old van (weight 950kg) and changed our car to a Vx zafira 2.0 tdi. We thought that we just had to check the kerbweight which is 1400kg but after trying to tow it uphill we lost a lot of power and broke down (worked fine after a rest). We looked and the tow capacity is 1050kg. We don't know if it was the way we drove up the hill or that the car isn't strong enough. Any advice greatly apprexciated.
