I am a newbie to all things Caravaning.
I don't have a car or a van - yet, but I have identified my ideal set-up.
I am considering a Seat Alhambra 1.9TD tow car, and a Coachman 550/5 van.
When I calculate tow weights etc, the set up is above the guideline 85%, in fact it is 95%; this uses the van MTPLM(~1560kg) and the car kerb weight (~1650kg).
Now I am not going to load the van with 200Kg of stuff, and the car can't drive itself! So can I use sensible figures and consider how much load I will put in the van and the car and calculate the ratio from that?
The towsafe web site cost me £15 to tell me what I already know, what a rip off.
