New to all this, been camping and the family spend the whole time wishing we had a caravan, so I need a 4berth jobby what can I get with my current car can tow for say 4k?

Also I live in Southampton is there anywhere that I could hire something for the weekend before parting with my hard cash?

Depends which model you have and when you passed your driving test.

Without knowing those details a caravan with a GROSS weight of 1200kg is about your limit.

your car is 1351kg kerbweight so the 85 % rule says 1148kg max loaded caravan but checked out whattowcar.com and the baileys ranger 470/4 is bout 86% of ur kerbweight so should be ok just make sure when looking at caravans to make sure they dont go too much above 1160kg when fully loaded good luck and hope u find a nice dry van .
