A quick question....purely about fuel economy and nothing else like load handling/stability..

I will be towing a Trigano Silver 380 to Provence this June, it's a light caravan btw.

I'll be pulling it with a Renault Meganne 1.5 diesel.

Let's say I would be carrying 100kg of things that could be either stored in the van or the car....does the fuel economy alter with either storage option (car v. caravan) or would it be exactly the same?

Daisy hill near where we live will test your cars power, think 'Rocky' might know its challenge.
