M5 near Bristol mid 80s
- Thread starter Dustydog
- Start date
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 🙈
