Hi All
I am fairly new to caravanning and have an Xplore 422 (MTPLM 1099kgs) currently being towed with a 2008 Toyota Avensis TR 1.8VVT. The Avensis has been OK but when reversing the clutch tends to smell even when being gentle with the engine rpm. As our mileage is quite low we do not want to have a diesel engine, especially considering DPF/DMF issues.
In view of this we have test driven a Honda CRV 2,0SE+T auto 4x4 (torque converter), which drives solo very well. My question is will this gearbox have a tendency to hunt between 4/5 gears when on the motorway when towing, bearing in mind that you can only lock gears 1 & 2?
Thanks for any input,
Chris
