Hi looks good, same van as we bought last year, was going to tow it with the 2.2 & then realised it was not a good match so bought a Hyundai Terracan to tow with.We have recently bought a porch awning as well , not going to be used until March though.

The guru's on here said my 2.5ltr Estate would not tow it, so I reckon the 2.2 would have broken in half ;D ;D ;D. Not sure if my 2.6 Estate would tow it either :(


i have a v8 discovery that will tow your van and possibley both your cars all at the same time  :y

We had a long twin axel 6 birth tourer some years ago, before we bought the 'Static' think it was a 6.20... :-\ :-\ but I had a tow bar fitted to our 2.0L Manual Mig, the weights must have matched though...... :) :)

Yes...this is a weighty old caravan, Mike. Twin axle....but I think Elddis vans are generally heavier than your average :y

Comes out heavier kerbweight than the Omega

Especially now as its weighted down with burgers and sausages and drinks ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
