Hi all,
Would appreciate some advice. We are looking at taking up caravanning and doing loads of research into the van we would like to purchase. I am slightly confused by what I can tow though. I'm not concerned for myself as have a C+E license although haven't towed a big rig since passing the test (long story). However we would like to share the driving and the missus doesn't have B+E.
I'm struggling to find a van with the layout we like, 4 berth with fixed double bed and a MTPLM which would be a good match.
Would appreciate it if someone could have a look over my car specs and offer some advice.
BMW 320d 2014 touring auto M Sport
Mass in Service from V5 - 1585kg
From VIN plate:
2105kg
3780kg
1 - 915kg
2 - 1230kg
I would like to try and stay as close to an 85% match if possible so if I understand correctly I would be looking at a van with an MTPLM of around 1350kg which is well within the 3780-2105 of 1675 and with a car max of 2105 comes in at 3455kg which would mean the wife can tow it on her B license.
Do I have all this correct?
We are contemplating a Bailey Orion 430 or a new Elddis Xplore 504, how would these combinations work out for a novice?
Cheers in advance
