would be nice and cosy once done up, especially with a wood burner going

Hi
I wonder what length it is?
Presumably maximum length includes the Y frame.
Quote:
Towing vehicles with a maximum gross weight of 3500kg or below are permitted to tow a caravan with a maximum length of 7 metres and a width of 2.3 metres.

Towing vehicles with a maximum gross weight exceeding 3500kg are permitted to tow a caravan with a maximum length of 12 metres provided it is fitted with at least four wheels. In all other cases the maximum length is 7 metres. The maximum width is 2.55 metres.

In either case the overall length of the towing vehicle and caravan combination must not exceed 18 metres or 18.75 metres if the towing vehicle was manufactured after 1 June 1998.


Many of the earlier static vans had proper hitches and suspension but didn't fit inside the towable regulations, it was something to do with being defined as a caravan for rates purposes.
