I think the Adria altea is also a lightweight van (i could be wrong), most manufactures base model vans are  lighterweight van as they have fewer mod cons and have less storage space. check out the bailey discovery i'm not sure what year they made them but they were light vans

This is turning into a bit of a nightmare for me.

If my towing limit is 1180kg, does this mean that i can buy any caravan with a MiRO under this amount and use whatever difference in the caravan?

For example a Jubille Envoy 4 Berth (just an example)
The MiRo for this one is 1063kg does this mean i can tow this (I think i can) and fill it with 100kg of stuff?
The MTPLM of this one is 1285kg but i dont know the relevance of that in my case as i wouldnt be able to pull it at that weight?

Personally i think that will be a tall order for the 1.6 engine, lets not forget your car is heavy, 5 people, van, and all your camping gear

look at my spreadsheet below this will give you a rough idea of what items weigh, if you notice we havent put any clothes yet, Just think how many clothes 5 people use for 2 weeks ??

I tow with a mondeo 2ltr tdci tit x hatchback car weighs in at 1705 kgs and i tow a 1500kg 6 birth coachman, running at around 87%  which is fine, Brilliant towcar and car in general.

I used to have a S Max before that was a brilliant towcar why not get shut of the picasso and get a s max if you need a 7 seater
