Hi, I'm new to the caravan and motorhome club.
I've just this weekend upgraded my caravan and have found that my current car doesn't have the required kerb weight to pull it legally. That's not a problem as I was thinking of changing my car anyway.
My new caravan has a MIRO of 1421 KG and a MTPLM of 1720 KG.
When looking for cars online that might be suitable there's usually no mention of the towing capability.
I currently have an Insignia which I believe has a kerb weight of 1658 KG.
I've seen a couple of KIA Sorento's that would definitely do the job but I don't want something that bulky unless I absolutely have to.
I'd prefer something like a VW Touran or a KIA Sportage but I'm not sure how to find out if these cars would legally pull my new caravan.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
