Hi all
I wonder if anyone can help. I'm a complete novice at caravanning and I'm looking to purchase my first. I saw a caravan I liked and I went on a couple of tow match sites and got 2 different answers, 1 saying perfect match and the other saying it's an illegal match. The caravan centre that I saw the caravan for sale at told me the match was fine. So if anyone can help me decipher exactly what weight I can tow I would really appreciate it. I have a Vauxhall Astra 1.7 cdti exclusive ecoflex estate, the vin plate numbers are 2120kg 3370kg 1-1140kg and 2-1020 kg. Does this mean I can tow a fully laden weight of 1250kg? Also forgive me for sounding stupid but as there are only 2 of us plus 2 dogs if I bought a caravan say 4 berth and for example it said fully laden weight of 1400kg as there would only be 2 of us and not the 4 it bases the weight on would that be ok or does it not work like that? Any help would be much appreciated
