I have been a keen camper (under canvas) for most of my life, but have recently been offered my inlaws caravan, which is a Swift Sillouhette 2 berth from around 1995 / 96. My current car is a MK3 Ford Mondeo hatchback 1.8 petrol, registered in 2001 (51 reg).
Does anyone know if this car is suitable for towing this caravan? The handbook lists kerbweight as 1384 - 1439, & permissable gross weight of 1875.
Also I passed my driving test in 1997, after the new regs for towing were introduced, so do I need to upgrade my licence to tow a caravan?
