I was looking to buy a van royce caravan but the deal has fell through due to the caravan not being as described.
What i what to know is ,is my car suitable to tow a lunar delta 610/4 which was made in 1996..here are the specs:
My car..2005 55 plate BMW E90 330i petrol auto saloon..
kerbweight of car..1540kg.
permitted gross weight..1985kg
V5 states that braked towed trailers/loads..1700kg
Caravan details..1996 lunar delta 610/4 twin axle 20ft body.
unladen weight..just over 1100kg @(22.2cwt)
the plate on the door has a MAW weight of 1445kg.
The question is that the van is quite a big one in length,but seem very light in comparision with other slightly smaller caravans who are made by other manufactuers but those towing figures seem to stack up OK or am i missing something somewhere..or are lunar caravans just generally lighter..i take it the maw weight is the total weight of the caravan with all the personal extras needed for a trip away..ie: the gross caravan weight.
Somebody please help me as i have been through loads of different websites but they dont seem to go back that far so i can check to see if those weights for that particular van are correct.
Best Regards
Steve.
