Hi there,

I'm Al and just new to caravaning, having ditched the many tents I've been using up until now!

As a kid, I spent most weekends away from my mum and dad in a caravan and loved the experience. So time I figured to give my own kids the same great fun i had many years ago.

I was planning on towing a Sterling Cruach Culmor 6 berth (mlpt circa 1500kgs) with my 2 litre Volkswagen Passat Highline.

That was, however, until I worked out that the weight ratio between the car and caravan is a problematic 99% :-( !

Being a novice tow person (not correct phrase I know!) this would now seem to be a tad foolish....so I'd be grateful for some thoughts from you guys and girls that have been on the road with a caravan on the back much longer than me.

Thanks a lot.

Al.
