Look in your hand book and let everyone know your max tow weight, that will give us more idea of the caravan you could tow.

Look on this site http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/default.asp? about half way down and you can do an outfit match

We towed a 4 berth  abi globetrotter weighed 750kg ,max 1050kg with an astra  1.6 sxi ,which towed fine but the 1.8 would tow alot better with this size caravan.My OH said he wouldnt go over 16ft with astra unless car was an estate.As for the berth it depends what ur needs are ! But we never had a problem !

Hope this helps

hi see...    www.cuddles.abelgratis.net/kerbweights.htm - 10k

find your kerbweight and look for a caravan at 85% of this weight to be safe.

We have a Astra 2.0 cdi and tow a 20ft (shipping length) Lunar clubman - not had any problems yet.  It is less than 85% weight of car.

Swift Corniches in the late 80's early 90's are all arounf 1000kg max laden and maybe worth a look as they are spec'd out and common... although i am a little bias!
