I have over the years towed with 3.5 Ltr, 2.6, 2.3, 2.0 petrol and diesel and generally owned 4 berth vans of average weight for a 4 berth.



Thanks Jeff..I knew you would find a solution

Find the van you like and its usually the case of it being heavier than you would wish for.

All the ones my missus looks at and likes are much heavier than ours, Even if its physically smaller.

Yep..a problem we have had in the past but we need to be strict in our choice this time to suit a smaller towcar.

Does it have to be a Caravan?

Have a look here.

We tow a Pathfinder with a 1.4 Scenic diesel and the lowest we have recorded is 47mpg towing. Its normally 57+ solo.

With 2 double, permanently made up beds, both with interior sprung mattresses, it has everything we could want in a caravan except a shower unit.

Easy to tow, easy to stow and easy to erect, it really is luxury on wheels and with a wee porch awning with a couple of lounge type chairs there, well its just the Bees Knees.

Now I'm not saying that there is not a caravan out there that would give us the same luxury for the same money and is towable with a small car, but I have never seen one.
