A Land Rover should do it ok. I have towed that size with Land Rovers. As long as the caravan brakes are ok its fine. _________________ I can resist anything except temptation ! ( Oscar Wilde)

does anyone know where the law stands on towing these on the road/motorway, etc? I know that caravans of this size were inteneded as tourers back in the 50's but have any laws changed since then? |

I wouldn't have thought so. There are some truly massive (usually twin axle) luxury caravans around today, that don't look any smaller than that. _________________ Richard Hughes |

Had a word with a friend at the highways agency and he contacted the traffic police, if the van was intended as a touring caravan and complies with the law in having working brakes and legal tyres and lights then they said it will be fine, as long as the tow vehicle is capable and not deemed to cause a hazard to other road users due to being overweight, hope this helps.
