Towing with a van

Most modern Automatics will normally be fine for towing ,depending on the weight being on the hook ,and i would think a automatic comercial van will be quite robust  

what size and fuel is the ICE 

Hang in there, Lynne, and you may well get a response from someone with actual experience. 👍🏻

The van is a 2002 Vauxhall Vivaro 2l diesel automatic that has been partly converted to a campervan in that it has been lined and the seats put in the rear to make a bed. My caravan is a 2 berth, 1275kg max weight.

The outfit matching only uses cars 😏

what kind of auto gearbox is it. Vauxhall used an automated manual called Easytronic ..... they didn't offer it for very long due to its many problems.

They still advertise the Vivaro and and its rebadged stable mates with an auto box

I dare say they do .... however I've no idea what kind of gearbox is fitted, I do know though that the Easytronic is best avoided. 😯

Have googled it but cannot find what gearbox is fitted now ,but a 2002 could well have the "dodgy?"one 

I'm not certain, ED, but I think the new Vaux might share one of the same TC boxes as the new PSA offerings.

Only Fiat are using the 9 speed TC in the bigger Ducato size van but Peugeot/Citroën are using a TC with 8 or 6 speeds in the smaller vehicles. 

 This one includes Vivaro
