Hello folks, just after the benefits of a little collective wisdom. Wondering what people think of an i800 as a tow vehicle? Specifically, whether or not it has enough power? Kerbweight of 2238kgs pulling a Coachman 580 (MIRO 1346kgs). Vehicle has 134bhp and 253Nm torque. We have three kids so I'm guessing a total of…

Without the caravan the car is great, with the caravan it changes up through the gears until it…
Hi all Next question about our new car. We've had Milenco Aero mirrors since 2018 when we started caravanning, BUT the clamp is too narrow to fit the door mirrors on new car. I bought a new clamp but still doesn't fit. Can anyone recommend an alternative please? Many thanks in advance John
Just wondered if anyone has towed with a Mercedes Viano 3L 'Compact' and if so, any thoughts. We are just thinking of changing our towcar. Looked at a Viano the other day and really love the vehicle - I do carry a lot of stuff in the car, and a 7 seater car is what we want. The Mercedes looks a really comfortable car…

I am considering a 2015 Toureg as my next towcar and the reviews are good. However I understand there are issues with after market towbars being fitted. The car in consideration is an R Line but does not currently have a towbar. Is there a problem or is this old information? Any thoughts please?
Looking to replace existing towcar, which is a 2017 Ford Kuga 2.0TDCi 150PS FWD with a kerb weight of 1614Kg and maximum torque of 370Nm, and need some advice please. I tow a 2014 Bailey Unicorn II Vigo with an MTPLM of 1498Kg. I'm looking at either the sDrive 20i SE which has a kerbweight of 1560Kg or the 4x4 xDrive20i SE…
