I have a 2017 Coachman 575 VIP towed by a Freelander 2 TD4. no problem towing. I had a Witter detachable flange tow bar fitted and towed a Swift 554 which towed perfectly level. With the VIP it is nose down 150cm higher at the back than the front even when empty. Has any one out there had any experience of this and managed…
I am looking for some friendly advice. I currently tow with a XC60 D4 that has a towing capacity of 1800kg, the same as the new company car that I am being offered. My question is, would you feel comfortable towing a caravan with a MTPLM of 1600kg with a V60? Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm new to the caravan and motorhome club. I've just this weekend upgraded my caravan and have found that my current car doesn't have the required kerb weight to pull it legally. That's not a problem as I was thinking of changing my car anyway. My new caravan has a MIRO of 1421 KG and a MTPLM of 1720 KG. When looking…

This is making my Swift Caravan quite nose high when coupled and it is suggested in the VW handbook that any retro fitted towbars should be between 350 and 420mm. Has anyone had any…
can anyone recommend a trailer for towing a Smart car by motorhome?
Anyone looked at the C&MC towcar of year 2019 winners on this website? The engine data for the Polo, Toureg, and Skoda Kodiac are full of errors wrt. power and torque. Not checked any of the others. Polo - 188bhp and 291ft/lbs torque! from a 3 cylinder 1.0 petrol engine!
Just a heads up to any one thinking of buying or owning a Sorento. I went out to check the air pressure before heading away next week only to find the spare missing with the carrier cable 'cut'. Having looked on the Kia owners forum it seems this has been happening since 2014 without Kia taking steps to rectify the design…
We've just taken possession of a nearly new Discovery. It has more bells and whistles than our previous one and I'm trying to get to grips with them. To take advantage of some features we need a Data Sim. Has anyone any experience of this and advice on which to buy?
