As Grampian mentions check the car handbook for towing a none braked Trailer, the firms Golf I drive is rated to 660kg for none braked Trailer and we tow at 550kg give or take 20kg.
Camping gear tends to eat volume, the weight is not such a big issue, so decent height sides and ABS Lid will add volume, better still Side Extentions will in effect double the volume.
Having read on here, my minimum spec was 5ft x 3ft "A" Frame type, 13" Wheels, ABS Lid and 750kg rated.
So back in 2009 when VAT was reduced to 15% for just that year, I bought the largest Trailer that my £800 budget would allow for.
After a couple of Trips, I decided to add a 520lt RoofBox to the Trailer, and we already had a 380lt RoofBox on the car.
How we coped in the past without a Trailer remains a mystery, and there are only the two of us, although we are on the campsite for a minimum of a fortnight at a time, so we do take a lot of kit.
It would be nice to have all the camping kit in the Trailer, but for us that would mean having to have a braked Trailer.
