whatever car you choose, you need to match the car to the caravan. There is the 85% rule which is well recommended for inexperienced caravanners. I took up caravanning last year and definitely would stick to this rule. Check out the kerb weight of your proposed car or max tow weight. Whichever is lowest, take 85% of this. This will be the max weight of the caravan your car can tow using the 85% rule. The caravan should have a MTPLM weight. This weight should not exceed the 85% figure. I have a 2 ltr diesel vectra kerb weight 1500, and tow a bailey ranger 540/4 which is 1236 MTPLM which works out at about 81% which is ideal
