Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any information on the towing specs of these huge caravans. I know they are longer and wider than the British regulations state can be pulled by a normal 4x4, but if this is the case what kind of vehicle can tow them? Any info would be appreciated as we have seen and fallen in love with an RDK 710 but find we can't pull it with our 4 litre Grand cherokee!

Overall height 2.56m, headroom inside 1.95m
Front bed size 2.18m x 1.68/1.62m
Rear bed size 2.03m x 0.5m
Middle bed size 2.03 x 1.40m
Upper bunk bed 1.78/1.48 x 0.73/0.48
Lower bunk bed 1.78/1.48 x 0.80/0.50

Have you tried Elite Caravans, the importers?
I'm sure they've got a website, if not, let me know - I teach the son of one of the bosses at Elite, and I can get hold of brochure!

I looked at the TEC at Elite and when I mentioned that it was illigal to tow the salesman said it was only illigal if I got caught.......very professional!
