My car has a limit of 1500kg too, but 85% of kerb weight is 1350kg, so for me as inexperienced in towing, this is the max weight of caravan.

Hi Tetchy, I know the towing limit is 1500kg but that'd put the car close to 100% instead of recommended 85% for inexperienced drivers.

Looks pretty decent that Phil. Is the van yours, how comes you're selling. It says alloy wheels but the picture looks different.
Bit soon for me yet, after buying the car reserves are down, wifes keeping a close eye on the purse strings..lol!
