Can anyone enlighten me on the speed limits for towing a caravan in these countries as we do not seem to be able to find any information from the main caravan clubs.
Towing speed limits in France, Spain and Germany

France is the most complicated:
If the weather is dry AND the gross train weight of the outfit is up to 3.5 tonnes:
The maximum speed is 130km/h on autoroutes, 110km/h on dual carriageways, and 90 km/h elsewhere outside built-up areas.
If it's raining these limits reduce to 110km/h, 100km/h and 80km/h, respectively.
If the gross train weight of the outfit exceeds 3.5 tonnes:
The maximum speed is 110km/h on autoroutes, 100km/h on dual carriageways and 80km/h elsewhere outside built-up areas.
Spain is easy:
80km/h on motorways and dual carriageways, 70km/h elsewhere outside built-up areas.
Germany:
80km/h everywhere outside built-up areas unless the outfit fulfills certain technical requirements and has been approved and marked accordingly, in which case the limit is 100km/h.
I hope that helps.

If you look in the CC Europe 1 or 2 all the speeds for all countries are in there also in The ACSI Camping Card Guide
