I have a 2003 1.6 picasso petrol and tow a 2 berth caravan with no problem at all(see pics on my profile), ok so i have to change gears more so what. Cant say about MPG have never botherd about it but tows lovely.
Plenty of older 4 berth caravans are well under your 900kg limit. This Eccles Topaz I've just sold had a maximum weight of 810kg and was fine for four people. A Sprite Alpine would be even lighter but a bit "cosy" for four. Alternatively you could get a two berth caravan and sleep the other two on an air bed in the awning.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
