Haven't visited this forum for a very long time so please be gentle!!!
We have recently bought a Coachman 545 vip with a mtplm of 1630kg. Therefore we need to buy a beefy towcar. I like the look of the Kia Sorento and, when owners write about them, they seem to give them the thumbs up. But having looked into it further, they can be troublesome and the dealers don't have the best of reputations. Another car up to the job is the Hyundai Terracan which would tow the caravan easily but looks, in my opinion, a little dated. As my husband is quite handy with car maintenance, should we look at a car that he could maintain, such as an older Landrover Discovery? Has anyone got any advice please?? The last thing we want is to buy a car that ends up at best, expensive to maintain and, at worst scrap!!!
Many thanks
