Can't imagine you would have much traction in a Corsa with a Senator on the back either!  I hope he did get apprehended, I really do.

Yep the number who have posted on here having purchased a van and then realised it is too heavy has to be seen to be believed.  Dealers = salesmen = do your own research lol!

Hi,

I have what most of you would consider to be an unsafe outfit.  As far as I am aware it is completely legal so as long as drive carefully I am no more resky than some of the other outfits I have seen on the road.(big 4x4's towing twin axles baddly)

I have a kia cerato 1.5CRDI and I tow an Adria Altea 542 DK and the van does look a bit silly attached to the car but......

I have taken advise from this forum and freinds who also have vans and all in all I don't have a problem.

I have just come back from Scarborough going over the moors up and down the hills and it was scrary at times, but I don't think it would matter what I was driving some of those hills are steep and it would be scary in a big 4x4 just the same.

* Checking nose weights

* Ballancing the load in the van correctly

* Correct tyre pressures

* Keeping distance from vehicle in front

* Using mirrors regulary to check for large passing vehilcle

* Having suffienct weight in the car (loading it up correctly as well as the van)

* Stabilizer pads checks regulary

These are just some of the things that I do EVERY time I tow. 

Cheers

Richard
