Thanks in advance for you future help/comments.

I passed my test after the 1997 cut off, We have been camping for the last 10 years using our trusty 6man tent.
However during our last adventure the tent has finally given in and broke (leaked everywhere).

So we decided rather that buy a new tent we would go down the caravan route (nothing to big).

My question is the following, will i need to take a test to tow the following:

My car is a 2010 Grand Scenic, The caravan we were looking at as a first purchase was the Elddis EX2000 Typhoon.

Appreciate your advise on this matter.

Thanks.

Chris

it depends on the weight of the van as long as car and van dont exceed 3.5 tons loaded i think you are ok, there was a article on this i think in this months caravan and camping magazine
