If, like me, you have an 1850KG twin axle, go to youtube, search for the channel of Petrol Ped, and watch his test of the biggest BMW EV (£100k ++) towing a Swift T/A from Chichester to Beaulieu. He does a comparison run without the van first. I don't think the conclusion will surprise you. Paul
Do EV manufacturers give any info on battery charge loss whilst the vehicle is idle? We used to call this quiescent current when I was employed in electronics? The reason I ask is that a neighbour recently returned from a 3 week long haul holiday and found that their parked up EV battery had drained. They had initially…
is anyone towing a caravan with a Dacia Duster 4x2? My dealer where I am purchasing a caravan from has advised me that one with a total weight of 1237 is suitable for a Dacia to pull although the recommended weight for the car towing is 1200. As I am completely new to caravanning, any advice would be welcome. Thanks
Does anyone uise a KIA fit detachable tow hitch on a post 2020 Kia Sorrento. If so is the clearance between tow hitch and car bodywork sufficient?
I'm trying to ensure that calculating my 85% of the car's weight is correct. But what is the correct value to use. The log book of my car states a Revenue/Gross Weight of 1558 Kg but there is no mention of kerbside weight. Search the net suggests a possible kerbside value of 1425 Kg. But which is right?

Hi all, it seems that Caravan manufacturers are making 8ft wide caravans as the norm now. But I was wondering if anybody has towed with one, how do you find it? Motorways and A roads I would think be OK until you get to the last bit of your journey where road are a bit tight?
Hi, I’ve tried searching online but haven’t found a satisfactory answer. I’m (still!) looking at fitting our fiat ducato based panel van conversion with a towbar, principally for a bike carrier, but it would also do in future for a trailer. However, the only options I can see involve a tow ball that’s apparently bolted on…
Hello everyone. I have a Sprite Major 4 SB. I am looking for a new tow car. Has anyone got information or experience of hybrid tow cars?
I have been looking at changing my diesel 4WD VW towcar and have come to the conclusion that diesel is still the most economical and practical alternative, although I'm not sure about future resale value or the overall 'moral' side of things. I'm specifically looking at a diesel AWD Ford Kuga as the plug-in is only 2WD and…
