I have a Bailey Unicorn Valencia 2011 model with MTPLM 1565kg and a payload of 156kg.

Am looking to change my car to suit towing this caravan. Any ideas of the make and model that would be suitable for somebody new to caravanning. Have been told by technical support I need a car with 1841 kerb weight.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Should I change to an entry level motorhome or consider a lighter caravan than the Bailey.

Thank you.

I assume your licence is pre-97..? If that being the case you have an extremely vast choice of vehicles that would tow that Van. If you are happy with the Van - i'd stick with it.

Another question to consider is  - is your tow car also your main everyday car too...?
