Hi Michael,

16.73 cwt converts to just under 850kg. You dont specify if this is the M.I.R.O or M.T.P.L.M weight?

I know that the Bailey Caribou was super lightweight so would hazard a guess and say that this is the gross weight (M.T.P.L.M.). Based on this assumption, your caravan is a 65% match for the picasso.

I tow a Bailey Ranger 470/4 (M.T.P.L.M. 1072KG) with a Picasso 2.0 Hdi and although there are better towcars, I find this a very stable combination.

Hope this helps

Andrew
