Would really like to look at getting a bailey wyoming, but the xc90 tow bar has vertical limit of 90kg but can pull 2250kg

Anyone else pulling twin axel, with a 90 limit, or should i forget it and look to single axel.?

An "S" rating of 90kg is higher than most vehicles. Only heavy 4x4's will exceed this, the ALKO "A" frame is only rated to 100kg. As I have said before you will just have to watch your loading technique to achieve this.

you don't give much information

which area are you from?

Have you towed before?

what sort of usage are you going to give the caravan?

Steve,

No never towed a caravan before, use my dads camper alot and found it annoying to have to keep packing up every time we want to go some where.

Usage, not as much as i would like expect the xc90 will give me low 20s mpg. Mainly school holidays.

Towing doesn't bother me, but with no experience just want to do it right with no damage or surprises. The size is a little worrying but i expect you get used to it.    

No point wasting time looking at wyomings only to find it will tear the back of the car off.   

Andy

This link may help

We get 24 mpg out of our '10 plate D5 auto when towing our single axle van.

I'd imaging with sensible loading you'd be more than fine.

Paul.
