Hello everyone,
We have just decided to buy our first caravan, but I have a couple of questions.Our car is an Audi A4 2.4 petrol saloon 1998 and we have our eye on a 1996 Fleetwood Garland 185 twin axle,the caravan has a maximum weight of 1450kg and my car has a maximum towing limit of 1700kg.With a kerbweight of just 1350kg would my car be up to the job of towing it? the bit I'm confused about is that the maximum towing weight is more than 85% of the kerb weight do I need to look at buying a heavier car.
Thanks in advance for any replies, Colin
