Being economical with the facts
At the NEC show we looked at an American 32' long caravan and it was really very nice and with a very competitive price. You cannot buy at 24' UK twin axle caravan with all the goodies for the same price.
I queried towing to on UK roads and was assured that there was no issue towing with a normal 4 x 4 like a Jeep GC or Toyota LC.
I disputed this and the sales lady was adamant she was correct and even prepared to take a £100 bet that I was wrong. Eventually she queried it with her manager who confirmed my belief however he went on to say that the legislation is changing in October
this year and then there will be no issues.
Their website states the following;
What size trailer can be towed in the UK/Europe? The maximum full train length (truck and trailer) that can be towed legally is 18m with the maximum trailer length of 13m x 2.55m wide
The above is correct but they neglect to point out the restrictions and type of vehicle required to tow a 32' caravan legally.
Surely this is misleading advertising never mind the fact that any UK or EU 4 x 4 will have issues with noseweight as the the axles on American caravans are towards the back and not the centre?
