Sorry in advance - Towing weights help needed
Sorry about this, I know its been asked a million times, but while there is tons of advice out there, I'd much prefer a clear and simple answer from some experienced people. (Yes, I'm hoping flattery will get me everywhere!)
We're selling our motorhome to buy a larger caravan as we need more space.
I have a Seat Exeo 143PS 2013. I'm looking at the log book now, and the weights listed are:
Gross Vehicle Weight: 1990kg
Weight in running order (with driver): 1505kg
&
Trailer Weight Gradients up to 8%: 1800kg
Trailer Weight Gradients up to 12%: 1400kg
I'm assuming the trailer weight is the larger of the 2 usually-referred numbers, the mtplm rather than the miro.
I'll set this out as 3 simple questions to keep things as simple as possible
1 - What is the maximum mtplm caravan weight that I can LEGALLY tow
2 - What is the maximum mtplm caravan weight that is RECOMMENDED for me to tow
3 - I passed my test in 1998. Am I correct in thinking that I am ok to drive my car with a caravan as the total weight will never exceed 3,500kg?
Thanks very much for your help.
