We are looking to purchase a new caravan in 2005, my current car is a Citroen C5 2.2 HDI manual Exclusive estate. The hand book states an unlaiden weight of 1518 kgs and on visting web sites this is the figure which is quoted as the cars kerb weight. However I decided to check this for myself and took the car to a local authority weigh bridge. With myself (my weight is about 80 kgs) and a full tank of diesel the car weighed in at 1710 kgs, therefore am I correct to say that this figure can be used as the kerb weight when deciding on a caravan car match. Obviously I will have to ensure that the combined weight of car and caravan does not exceed the maximum gross train weight. Your views would be much preciated.
