Firstly can I check that I am right in thinking that I can tow a Elddis Wisp 450 CT with an 06 Plate Ford Focus 5 door petrol hatchback?

Car has a kerb weight of 1264kg,  85% is 1074kg, maximum tow weight is 1200kg and noseweight is 75kg.

Not sure what year the Wisp is (getting it from my brother, seeing it at the weekend) but the 96 model is the heaviest at

·  Mass in Running Order (Kg) - 825

·  Mass in Running Order (Cwt) - 16.2

·  Maximum Allowable/Authorised Weight (Kg) - 1100

·  Maximum Allowable/Authorised Weight (Cwt) - 21.6

So worse case scenario it's the heaviest one,   (which weight do I need to be looking at?) Will I be able to tow it with the Focus?

Second question is the electrics on the towbar? Do I need single or twin?

Thanks

Thank you both. The caravan is actually older, so even lighter.

I am thinking of siting the van so I think I will just go for single electrics, I won't ever be towing it far.

Thanks for the clarifcation.
