We have had many customers over the last year or so with the same dilema they want a caravan but dont want a 4x4 to lug it around, we also have many of our customers moving up from trailer tents and folding campers. So we have become agents for the caravelair range of caravans, who provide some very low weight continetal style vans which have an ex works weight of a mere 700 kg for a 4 berth model. We would welcome you to our centre to have a look or if you wish we could send you a brochure. kind regards
Do not want to interupt this thread but would be interested in the above lightweight vans. Please post to Mrs Boxford, 13 Edwin Panks Rd, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5JL
Have a look here for your towing weights on the car, they say the caravan should be no more than 85% of the total weight of your car if you are inexperienced at towing.

There are so many caravans with a maximum weight including load of 1200 kgs. Enough choice, I would say.
It would also depend a bit on the internal space you want in a caravan.
Mine is 430 inside measurements, but as it is lateral fixed bed and 230 wide there still is relatively much space. Due to the width it is easy to pass one another, which can be more difficult in narrower vans. This aspects contributes a lot to the feeling of space or lack of space.
When looking for caravans you have to walk up an down in the caravans in the showroom together, to get experience how it will be in practice, e.g. one person looking for something in the kitchen cupboards, the other one passing to go to the loo at the same time. And that's how it works in practice.
