I have recently sold my motorhome with the intention of buying a caravan.
I have looked at a number of different caravans and I need some advice on the towing weights etc. The caravan I am thinking of buying is a Lunar Solar Eclipse GTS - 2001.
The caravan is plated at 1090kgs loaded and the car I will be using has a kerb weight of 1236kgs. (Seat Leon ). Working on the ratio of 85% I believe this will be in keeping with the advised limits for towing. However a colleague has suggested that I would be better with a car that has a 2 litre engine for example, to make towing easier on gradients etc.
I would appreciate it if anyone with more experience could advise me on this point.
