Hi everyone. I'm looking for a bit of guidance. I'm currently looking at second hand caravans and want to make sure I buy something which is within safe and legal limits for towing with my car.
I have a vauxhall zafira life dti1995cc accordimg to the handbook and door plate the weights are as follows: kerbweight 1448kg mpgvw 2075kg mpgtw 3170kg. I'm a bit confused as to what figure I need to use as the 85% works out at 1230.8kg, but the difference between the gvw and gtw is only 1095kg.
Ibm hoping to view a sprite at the weekend which the seller tells me has a total mass running weight of 1070kg loaded....I'm assuming he means the mtplm.
I would very much appreciate any advice as I must admit I'm starting to confuse myself!
thank you Lou
