Towing a caravan

[Jimbob]

Has anyone towed a caravan with a DS3?
Am I mad to consider it? Would only likely be one journey to site and one to sell later.

If it's only one journey it's probably cheaper / less hassle to rent a van with a tow bar already attached.

Depends on the caravan weight ratio to car ratio to nose weight. This website may help you decide http://www.campingandcaravanningclub...r-and-caravan/

And the relevant weight info for the caravan/car is in the handbook which I AM SURE YOU ALREADY CHECKED!

Want experience do you? How about towing a 17000 pound helicopter with a golf cart. Takes 4 guys pushing to get going then a lot of room to stop. The in-between part works OK the start and stop not so much.
