They were small in those days - our 1983 Ace Globetrotter was a 4-berth with a 5th berth option, it was 13'8" inside length (4.2 m) and had a net weight of 650 kg and a gross of 800 kg - but I suspect it was nearer 900 kg after loading. I towed it with a Ford Escort mk2 1.6 initially and then with a variety of company Vauxhalls from Cavalier to Senator.

If you stare at that photo for long enough, you can actually see that Morris Marina rust before your very eyes🤣🤣🤣

Looking at the first two caravans, it looks like the nose weights must be pretty high.

There seems to be a problem with this photo, caravans 6 & 7 have no tow car, and they are very close to the one in front 🙈
