Hi all

Would you tow a folding camper with a Hyundai Tucson 1.6 petrol? If not, why not?

I only ask as if not, then my decision to buy a FC will be well and truly scuppered.

google the car and add towing limit after the engine,
but my feeling is that it will be well within limits

Your V5 should state limits for towing braked and unbraked.

Some models have unbraked limit as low as 500kg which would not work with an unbraked FC.

If the FC has brakes then you should be fine.

If it's a non turbo engine, you'll find yourself needing to drop a couple of gears and be prepared to go at the outfits pace but otherwise you'll be fine

You haven't said which model of FC.

-------------
XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Most folding campers are braked. Even our little Challenger which weighs 600kgs is braked. We tow with a Mini Clubman 1.6 petrol with no issues. Our car has a max towing limit of 750kgs.
The largest folding campers only weigh 1000-1100kgs and will be well within the Tucson’s capabilities

We towed our Pennine Fiesta with a Hyundai 1.6 petrol automatic Matrix and was fine. We even took it the south of France.
