Could anyone reccommend any types of light 4 berth caravans , my car reccommended weight is 1600 ...thanks .
Hi Richard, The Maximum Permited Towing Mass (MPTM) stated by car manufactures have no relation to the 85% guide figure suggested for caravanners. Some cars are quoted as being able to tow more than thier kerb weight (i.e. Discovery's MPTM = 3500Kg) whilst some are significantlt less than thier kerbweight. You have to check the details of your specic model of car.Sorry if this is stating the obvious but your recommended weight would be 85% of the cars kerbweight. 1600kg sounds like you've got a pretty big car so you should be okay towing most vans.
