Towcars for a 2003 Abbey Expresion 500
Hi,
I am new to the Caravan club ( but have owned and towed an old Fleetwood Colchester for 5+ years and for many years before that a Triango trailer tent. Never having considered matching cars to outfits, just knowing that sensible balancing and noseweight
lead to a stable towing experience. Suddenly I am horrified to discover that the (new to us) Abbey caravan we have just purchased is not suitable to be towed by our Skoda Octavia (despite having towed it from Sussex to West Wales without incident or hint
of instability.) So in an attempt to conform I thought that I had better purchase a more compatible car. When I use the club's matching service I find that no cars younger than 2 years old are a match and that those that appear to match are in the ridiculously
expensive marques. Surely the database must be out of date and hopefully - HOPEFULLY some one can offer advice. Is this caravan a monster (I very much doubt it). I know ignorance is no defense, but having joined the Caravan Club it seems as if my caravanning
days may be over (SURELY this not just a rich man's hobby??)
