hi everyone

just bought a freedom caravan - to tow with my hyundai i10 - all with in weight limits - can legally tow 800kgs and this is unladen 650 and laden 750kgs.

am i totally crazy for this? iv seen on here a few posts of people towing with small cars and it is reassuring.

anyone else with a freedom?

:~)

Hi Beagle, we have a Freedom Microlite LE, which comes as standard with a wc washroom. We have converted our washroom to take a shower tray and it is effectively a wet room lined with uPvc.Quite a bit of work to do this but well worthwhile for us.

 We bought it to replace our last motorhome when we moved to a home with very little parking space.

Which model is yours ? We are very pleased with ours. The bed is easily big enough, comfy and quick to make up. The kitchen lacks worktop space but is manageable.

We tow with a 1.6 Tdci Fiesta Mk 7 and repeatedly achieve 45 mpg towing which is a big attraction for us. We use an imported Raclet awning for longer stopovers which greatly enhances useable space but we frequently dont put it up and use the car for storage of chairs etc. Best wishes with your Freedom ! 

 Beagle ps. I have been trying to get my son to buy an i10 . A relative bought one recently and says it's brilliant, but he doesn't tow with it. My son would probably tow with his if he buys one. Please let us know how you go on.

News of All "Freedom" experiences , good and bad , past and present welcomed!

Beagle , PS.,  a relative bought an i 10 recently and loves it ! I am trying to get my son to buy one. He would probably tow our 'van with it. News of your experiences towing with yours would be much appreciated.

Also, all "Freedom" and small caravan experiences, past and present, good and bad welcomed please

I have a Jetstream 1st class and I tow with a 1300 Yaris MkII.  I think I get about 30 -40mpg.  Uphills are a struggle and even on the motorway you have to keep your wits about you as the hills will sap your "power".  Aim to stay no more than 55mph as it can snake quite easily above that.

But it is a great little rig and I don't expect to change my car for a while.

Happy Caravanning
