Look here.

I think the tourans have quite a good reputation for towing, you may want to check that out before changing the car if there is no need, you would have more to put towards the caravan!

Good luck, the main  bugbear with older vans is to look out for damp. Hope that helps plus there is always plenty of people on here ready to offer help

You may want to try putting a post up in the towcar section and use the subject VW Touran

Hi, we just bought a 10 year old swift classic corvette 4 berth. We got it in december to get the best deal which was £4k including 3 month warranty, £800 worth of new awning and £300 of starter pack. It is also really light 1000kgs. We have a touran 2.0 litre 140bhp. It tows it really well but have only done a short journey so far. Even with the caravan fully loaded it will still be below the 85% guidance rule.

Good luck

we have but our first weekend away isn't until the first bank holiday in May. Having got everything ready though I think it will be less streesful setting up the caravan than a tent!

Hi debbie,

I think the majority of caravnners on here have been tenting first of all, And jujst worked up, we still have our tent and use it occasionally however the caravan is a lot easier. Especially for quick weekends and winter touring
