Hi all,
Fairly new to caravanning, we got our first one last June - a Sterling Eccles Sport 442 (2012 edition). I haven’t passed my B+E, the caravan MTPLM is 1235.
I used to tow with a VW golf 1.6 and it struggled a little although the car was fine to tow that caravan weight as we check against manufacturers guidelines.
I upgraded recently to a VW Tiguan, 2 litre and would just like to double triple check my understanding before I tow...
Car weights:
Also I live 10 mins from a weigh bridge so I could always get weighed when contents and passenger is in to check first.
thanks 😊
