Here is the current law regarding this topic:
Towing vehicles with a maximum gross weight of 3500kg or below are permitted to tow a caravan with a maximum length of 7 metres and a width of 2.3 metres. Towing vehicles with a maximum gross weight exceeding 3500kg are permitted to tow a caravan with a maximum length of 12 metres provided it is fitted with at least four wheels. In all other cases the maximum length is 7 metres and the maximum width is 2.55 metres. In either case the overall length of the towing vehicle and caravan combination must not exceed 18 metres or 18.75 metres if the towing vehicle was manufactured after 1 June 1998.
Caravanners from other EU countries may have different regulations regarding the gross weight of the towing vehicle when towing a 2.55 metre van but they are obliged to conform to UK law when towing in UK.
