Or, to phrase it a bit more clearly, did you choose your caravan first then match your tow car to it, or did you stick with your existing car and only look at caravans that would match it?

We are changing both this year, and it'll have to be the car first because our Audi won't tow anything much heavier than the caravan we already have.

As we hadn't any intention of buying a van, being avid tenters, we went to to the NEC Spring show just for a day out. We were wandering round the vans before heading over to the tent display when a particular van just grabbed us. We were told our car would only tow the smallest of vans, so we decided if we were going to have to buy a new car to tow we may as well get a van that ticked all the boxes, not just most. So we had a very pleasant day choosing the van knowing there was no weight restriction.

I am lucky enough to be able to walk to work and into town so have quite a small car that sits on the drive 95% of the time. My OH now has my fuel efficient little car and the big towcar stays on the drive unless towing.

Never gave it any thought I am a certified Land Rover nut and have a Defender 110 and Range Rover P38 both capable of a max tow weight of 3.5 ton not a 85% match but they are both weighing in just short or a couple of ton each any way so no worries.
