Dustydog said:at Hillhead guy by us was towing a twin axel eldiss crusader with a galaxy , he had in there full awning and annex and a bloody steel drum and I a bike. I said what % you towing at?. He replied oh about 100% but I've been doing it for years. So if he had an accident his insurance woud be void. Isn't the swift conq 645 a twin?. What % is the BMW towing at.
On a site near Wakefield in July we saw a black BMW 320d saloon draw up with a family of five, five bikes mounted on the roof a d a Swift Conqueror 645. They then proceeded to erect a full size awning which had been stowed in the caravan.

So long as the manufacturer's towload limit is not exceeded, there is no reason for the insurance to be void, even if the weight ratio is over 100%.Jo-Anne Fairway 540 2010 said:I said what % you towing at?.

The Galaxy can tow up to 1800kg so it should not void any insurance. It is a total myth that by driving an unsuitable vehicle your insurance becomes void and have no idea who thought up that one.Jo-Anne Fairway 540 2010 said:Dustydog said:at Hillhead guy by us was towing a twin axel eldiss crusader with a galaxy , he had in there full awning and annex and a bloody steel drum and I a bike.

Just for the record I didn't write the stuff about the Galaxy or Insurance.
