Hi Dave

We changed from a fc to caravan last spring - best thing we ever did!

We were in a similar situation where our cars max tow was 1300kg too and it was either a new van, or older van and change car.  In the end went for a new adria altea - we got the 5 berth.  Unladen it's 1030kg.  Nice vans and lightweight.

Hope you get something suitable.

Sue

Done the very same thing this year. Loved the fc but got to admit that the van is more comfortable. Also driving onto a pitch and being fully set up in around 15mins is magic!!

Look at Bailey Discovery/Rangers or Avondale Dart's amongst others. As advised above pay attention to the weights - not forgetting noseweight - and you won't go far wrong.
