gravon42 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I have one of those dumped next to me in storage, but not in that condition! The owner works on an oil rig and is behind with his rent!

colonel Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 When I was last in a German caravan dealers (years ago) they used to give the towing capacity of a vehicle by its engine size. A Golf could tow an awful lot. Quote A Fiat Doblo camper and a Lunar Ariva 2019 grace my drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exkiaman Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 So there's a possibility that it's being towed by a fiesta????? I would say 'not a chance' Tabberts are heavy old vans; I reckon a twinaxle would be at least 2 tons, only ever seen them towed by 4x4s or large commercials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I haven't a clue "where" they would get a bigger car from unless they borrowed one!.

Lozzyf Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Mystery solved !!! Apparently they get someone/ a company ( not quite sure as my Italian is not fluent !!!) to move them about!!!

The 2 Tops Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 When I was last in a German caravan dealers (years ago) they used to give the towing capacity of a vehicle by its engine size. A Golf could tow an awful lot. When I towed with a 1997 Golf estate (1. 9 TDI) the manufacturer's spec gave 1,200 kg as the maximum trailer weight, and 50 kg as the tow ball weight.
