Do you tow an Elddis Affinity 550? Stability?

We tow an Affinity 540 with a Volvo V90 Cross Country, having recently switched from an XC60, both very stable but the V90 seems to be averaging 29mpg towing. The towball was cleaned when new but has just started to groan at lower speeds, as the van is only two years old don't think the pads need changing.

Just an update for all who contributed to this thread.

The Freelander has turned out to be a fantastic towcar for our  Elddis Affinity 550.  I don't have to grip the steering wheel with an "iron fist" any longer. The outfit tows firmly and steadily as it should.

The150Kg towball limit negates any worries about noseweight with the caravan and we can actually take our Gas bottles in the front locker once again and stay just within the ALKO 100Kg noseweight limit.

It's a shame the Freelander is now discontinued as its replacement (the Discovery Sport) is now sooo expensive!  So we're envisaging keeping the car for several years if the anti-diesel lobby permit us to!

Thanks for taking the time to update the post, Great choice of car BTW

BMW`s - run flat tyres? just a thought.

Hi, we too have issues towing stability.  Hubby HGV driver 40 years, towed caravans for shy on 30 years, never had an issue before!! Purchased New lunar delta ri  last November, only used it 4 times this year due to family commitments.  2 of those times have been on motorway M56/M6, on both occasions experienced snaking from near side lane right over 3rd lane, luckily he got outfit under control, but very scary to say the least! On second occasion we could feel outfit swaying, even when a car speeded past us in second lane. Each time hubby doing maximum speed of 53mph. Car is kia sorento 2.5 xs.  Always starts to sway at 49mph, weve got lots experience in loading vehicle as had many twin axles.  Can anyone help us

nose weight?car tyre pressures or construction?

Do you know anyone who has a car with a towbar and would let you tow the caravan with it in an attempt to narrow the issue down to the caravan or your car ?

My van is a delta ri and tow it with a jeep grand cherokee and got to say best towcar ever and never a twitch  at any speed. 90/100kg noseweight. First tow it with the Cherokee in avatar and that was not a problem.
