Hi there, I'm just starting to seriously consider a touring van having had a static years ago when the kids were young but fancy touring now they're grown up. I have a Ford Ecosport, a small but quite powerful car and wondered how I'm going to get a caravan big enough within towing limits? I am really struggling to establish what size caravan i can get, I believe something akin to 875 KG is the maximum, I'd rather not buy a 'towing car' but wondered:

 

A. Do I have th right towing max as there are so many confusing versions of the regulations on the internet and

B. Can anybody recommend a decent sized lighweight caravan that might tick the boxes.

 

Many thanks

 

John

If you look on the ford website it actually states the maximum weight for a Braked Trailer is 750KG
