#21
I know a retired VOSA officer(?) too.
When next see him will ask about weighing caravans.

Have a Mk3 2010 XTR 110 with a towball loading weight of I believe 55kg. Whilst the vehicle tows my caravan like a good`un, I struggle to achieve this figure. My van will weigh around 1000kg fully and as such, the load is maximum. And then some . .

Anybody with imaginative bright ideas please . . . .! Do not want to change car or van!

Oh My!

I am having a tow bar fitted to my citreon berlingo multispace 1.6hdi soon. Its really for a low bike rack but thought if brave enough! I could tow my 2007 Bailey ranger 4birth caravan a couple of times. All this about nose weight is worrying me, I have been told that the berlingo will tow 1100kg and the caravan unladen is 968kg. I know that any weight is put in the middle of caravan and not one side etc.

Don't forget from January this year, not only is the towbar assembly an MOT item, but so are the electrics.
If it's on the vehicle, it must be working.

FWIW, I tow a Bailey Ranger GT60 420/2 with my 2009 XTR. I gave up worrying about the noseweight, couldn't get it down to 55kg, just loaded the van sensibly. I have a Thule detachable towing hitch fitted.

Outfit tows fine, so far as I can tell.

Not too much deflection of rear suspension, as shown here.
