I tow a Bailey Pegasus Grande Brindisi circa 1600 Kgs when loaded, I currently have a Discovery Sport 2.0D 180ps, which is brilliant. However my PCP deal ends in 12 months and I had planned to order something very similar. Unfortunately the Landrover main dealer has just told me that for the indefinite future you can only…
what car should I get to pull 1200kg ( loaded ) van
Hi. Can anybody advise what petrol consumption could be expected when towing using a current Audi Q5 45 TFSI, towing a 1600kg cravan? Thanks
Evening all I'm after more advice please! The motorhome is now officially up for sale, and I collect our new-to-us caravan at the end of the month. My car is due to have a towbar fitted next weekend and the company doing the fitting asked if it was for an Al-ko hitch. I said no, but it has a Winterhoff stabiliser fitted…
I have been informed along with my car most Hybrids and EVs don't connect the pins 9 and 13. I suppose this is they don't want you to drain the batteries with potential Fridge and charging the caravan battery from the vehicle. Had anyone got around this?

Thanks
I am thinking of swapping my current tow car (a focus estate) for a Ford Transit custom. Long story, but we have a swift basecamp and end up taking two cars everywhere. If we had a van it would make live easier as everything could go in the van. I passed my test in 2009, but following the recent changes, I have B+E on my…
Just bought a BMW X3 and caravan mirrors will not fit on car mirrors. Previously we had a BMW X1 and the Milenco screw on mirrors fit perfectly. Anyone have recommendations for mirrors that fit an X3,or have a pair of mirrors EMUK that are for sale or swap.
Hello all, Previous XC90 chat on here dates back almost 4 years so i am after some fresh comments on ownership for both solo and towing. Our local dealer has a 2021 XC90 B5 Diesel for sale which they can retro fit the OEM towbar. Its the Momentum model so sensible tyres/wheels, with additions such as winter/climate pack,…
