Go to cuddles.albergratis.net to get the kerbweight of your car and then have a look at the weight of your caravan.If you are new to towing then you should try and stick to the caravan being no heavier than 85%of your cars weight.

Also try what towcar.com.Your corvette probably wont be on there due to its age but you can enter the weights of your caravan in the boxes provided

Yes you have to take that weight into account.The 950 kg you described will probably be the unladen weight of the van.There should be a higher figure for the laden weight

I think your cars weight is 1300 kg.This is not a heavy car to be towing a van with really and also a little underpowered.You should be ok as long as you don't load the van to its max weight as you may well be over the 85% safety margin.This isn't a rule of law but rather a rule of safety.

we have towed with both petrol and deisel multis, your max tow if i remember correctly is 1200kg with a petrol,but this is more than 85%. we towed 1100kg with ours and it struggled to cope with hills the engine is underpowered for towing, hence the change to a deisel multi which tows 1300kg again over 85% but it pulled like a train.

I loved my multiplas but the repairs were getting too much, nearly 5 grand in 3 years   in fact i love them so much ive been looking for an older one to use as a runabout as my bug dosent like the cold LOL , my husband thinks im crazy...maybe i am...

yep, I wasnt impressed with my 1.6 multi towing (was the Mk1)

loved the car, but it wasnt a great tug, 5th gear a rarity on the motorway, needs to be kept high on revs or its lost.

1200 is correct on the max tow. my caravan was 1000Kgs all up.
