is there any place on car or handbook that tells you the maximum combined weight of car and trailer/caravan that the vehicle can pull , looked everywhere .
------------- The weight I have gained is due to the part I am playing in the film I am in!!
Hi, I am looking for a tow car to tow my Lunar Solar 524. After looking and looking and looking and speaking to someone at Towsafe its not that easy. Apparently itsnot just about the weight, its to do with suspension, engine size, etc etc etc. It costs 15.95 to get 5 matches from Towsafe and I honestly think its worth it. I have been towing with an Octavia 1.9 SDi for 3 years and have just found out my outfit is illegal. If I had been stopped I could have been fined a grand and had 3 points on my licence. Only found out coz I bought a new van. Also if I had had an accident my insurance would have not been worth the paper its written on so 15.95 is not a lot to invest.Anne
If you look at the vin plate on the car it should give you at least 4 weights. The top one is usually the Max Gross weight of the car the second and third are the maximumum axle weights and the third is the maximum train weight, It is the last one that you want. If the car does not have a train weight on the plate then it is not type approved to tow with.
