Mercedes E class 220cdi sport convertible/coupe

Before you jump in at the deep end, don't forget you may need the space of a more practical car to accommodate what you take with you, your caravan will have a load margin and any excess should go in the car to keep you -  legal, stable and safe. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I too was once tempted with an Audi A4 cabrio tdi Quattro as a tug. It was precisely for the reasons Milo suggested i ditched the idea, lack of room fir awning, chairs, various accessories, dog.....

See link.

Some do do it though 

We were warned not to tow with a convertable as  although they have some extra support built in the chassis to compensate for lack of roof towing could be too stressful on the body

I towed all over Europe in the 70's and 80's with MG Midgets and Triumph TR7 convertibles and never had any structural problems, then again they weren't German.

I'd say go for it..........

 

Far too many boring Landrover Freelander & clones on club sites......

I like your attitude there, yes room is an issue but it’s only the 2 of us but maybe I’ll settle for a compromise and get the coupe version instead as it obviously has no roof in the boot taking up valuable space. 

I’m not a big fan of sensible motors and having my Passat now for 3 years I’m itching for something a little different especially after enjoying 18 glorious days in France in September the wife said when we were driving with just the car “a convertible would be just the ticket”.

 

I’ve heard that before but our caravan is only 1,230 MTPLM so on the lighter side but it’s something to consider as it’s not overly often you see a caravan being pulled by a softop.

why not get the convertible and book statics wherever you go. sell caravan and get a newer merc.
