I am not going to be lifting any barbells and racks but I have been reliably informed that my current car (Ford Fiesta Style) will not tow the weight of a pram never mind a caravan.
My painful research included joining an Eriba owners forum where I pretended to know what I was doing, asked a question about tow weights and didn’t understand any of the answers. I then joined the Eriba Puck group on Facebook where the answers made much more sense e.g. ‘my car is tiny….someone will probably give you a much better answer but essentially that’s it’. Essentially, that was all I needed.
I get it that the caravan shouldn’t be too heavy but I really do not have a clue what 1kg weighs never mind 1,200 so to then add brakes and kerbs into the conversation is way over my head. I looked up ‘how much does a kettle weigh’ for comparison and a Delonghi Electric Kettle apparently weighs 5.5 pounds which, according to a conversion chart, is 2.50kg so effectively, I can have about 200 kettles in the caravan. That should be fine.
So, I am off to my local Fiat garage to buy a Fiat 500X (it is the fatter version of the Fiat 500)
