I'm confused why you're asking us - few of us are going to know anything about which caravans are available in Canada.

Even the biggest caravan I've seen in this country will be easily pulled by your 'diddy' Pathfinder so I assume they have bigger stuff over there?

You're not just trying to show-off your huge car and soon-to-be huge caravan, are you? :-)

Most of the caravans we saw last year in Canada were huge, (twin or triple axle) all seemed to be towed by big pick ups, or were fifth wheel set ups.

I guess they don't import British Vans into Canada, although Bailey are exporting to Australia. Of course they drive on the left so not as difficult to convert.

I did see some smaller US made vans around, have seen one or two here but I cannnot remember the make.

Try good ole google?

The issue is the kerbweight, I dont know the laws over there but over here your would be advised to tow a caravan with a plated gross laden weight of 1800kg.

Which would cover almost all caravans in the UK.

The caravans you have over there probably exceed the kerbweight of the car which is a big no over here.

But over there you will probably have power brakes etc.

Your probably going to need a large gearbox oil cooler, And get the gerboc oil changed every year or 2.

Dont think the rear suspension will take 250kg though???
Nope it wont 120kg MAX... Even the feather lite requires a 190kg hitchload. (UNLADEN) So even more when laden.
X213 = over 200kg.

Buy a big truck or buy a tent. Import a UK or European van?
