Hi
We are new to caravaning & have an oldish Eldiss Hurricane xl - 2 birth. We have a Citreon Xara Picasso 1.6. Can anyone tell me if this will pull the van ok. We have tried to study the books etc but not sure & don't want to have the tow bar fitted if we have to change our car?
Kerb weight of the car and MTPLM of the van is required.

It also makes a difference whether it's a diesel engine or not. I tow with a Ford Focus 1.6 diesel but I know for sure that the petrol version wouldn't be up to the job.
So to stick within the 85% rule the van fully laden should be 1058.25kg
Based on the fact that i very breifly had a 1993 elddis wisp 450eb 5 bearth which weighed in fully laden at 1030kg i would say you are probably about spot on weight wise !
As said though, a 1.6 petrol would be abit gutless !
