Hi all

First post, any advice greatly appreciated. We are going to buy our first caravan (used). We have fitted a tow bar to the Kia Sportage and I understand that the maximim weight of any caravan we tow should have a MTPLM of 1450kg. We will spend a few weekends looking at caravans to decide what layout will probably work best. Our budget is between £10-£15000.

That's about as far as I have got!

We usually look around for a relative or friend to act as a wise sage at this point, but we don't know any other caravanners.

Any help would be a amazing.

Hi a lot of good advice posted here from a lot of experienced members. Firstly which sportage do you own, is it diesel or petrol??
This could have a bearing on what caravan is suitable for you.
where you live there are lots of main dealers for you to visit to get a feel for the market, what layout you like and how far your budget will take you. You could do worse than look on caravan finder as stated or the dealer website and see what your money will get you. It is difficult to over advice on a particular make as this is subjective.
For the future, storage, manoeuvring courses, motor movers, security Will keep you busy

best of luck
