Max braked towing weight is 1400kg so depends what caravan you have. I'm sure it would pull most caravans OK but might struggle with bigger ones and would certainly have probs with twin axle vans. Look at your max weight of caravan + contents and if less than 1400kg you should be fine.

Cool ive been looking for one as light as possible so ive seen a few at around 1000 kgs fully laden by the sounds of it the car should play with this no problem wanted a light one due to not towing a van before so i will be learning and will be going steady till i get used to it

What mpg should i expect to get obviusly it will go down

Cheers steve
