The 85% guide weight would be around 1300kg so that's the MTPLM you should be looking for if that's within the max tow limit of the car.

If you go to caravan finder.co.uk then click on caravans and use the advanced caravan search button you can put in the number of berths and then used the advanced option to select the max MTPLM that you want. This will give a list of caravans for sale which you can then decide on a shortlist of suitable models which you can search for locally and on different sales platforms including ukcampsite.

Hope this helps.

Hi Tanya. The 1250kg Orion model we had was called the 430/4 and had a double fixed bed. The front seats could be used as 2 very short singles or made up into a small double so would work well for you and your daughter. At the time when we bought it several years ago, we were in a similar situation to you where we needed a lightweight caravan and at that time we were tossing up between the Bailey Orion and the Sprite Alpine which were both 4 berth fixed bed models at around the same weight. That’s another one you could investigate.

I have a Volvo with 1500 kerb weight and I don't want to get rid of it but if all goes well with the two-berth trial caravan, I want to upgrade to a 4 berth.

Is there an easy way to search for caravans that will be suitable for my car with a 1500 kerb weight?

Thanks
Tanya
