No concerns at all with the weight of the caravan you're looking at.

One other thing to bear in mind if you have a post-1997 'Category B' licence: this limits the maximum permissible weights (note: NOT the actual weights) of car and caravan combined to 3500kg. This again won't be an issue for the small caravans you're looking at, but watch it if you're tempted by something bigger and heavier (which is easily done)!

David - I'm sorry but there is no need for that. None of the comments in this thread make any reference to the OP being an HGV driver, and no I didn't look up whatever posts he had made in other threads; why would I want to do that before trying to answer the question that he had asked here?

One point I did make (and that you have reproduced) is that licence restrictions are not an issue for the car/caravan combination that he is looking at. However, given that other people also read these threads, I couldn't see the harm in also advising of this position. If my advice benefits one person, I'll be content. Not least because - with due respect - that's one more person than will benefit from comments such as yours.
