What age is the car?

The towing capacity of the new one is 1000kg so look for a van with MTPLM of 1000kg.

This is less than the kerbweight but the maximum that the car can tow.

Most modern 4 berths are more than this so looking older.

Look on some of the dealer websites local to you but make sure you use the MPTLM weight and not the MIRO weight which are sometimes quoted.

MPTLM = MIRO + payload.

Here is a few to think about. Google - Lightweight 4 berth carans fo more results.

Ask your local Dealer what makes/models would be suitable.

Are you sure you want to be putting your Itsy Bitsy Little Colt Under the strain of towing a metric Tonne behind it

Mitsubishi do make some more appropiate towing machines
