Will My Car Tow My Caravan?
Answer
Your car can tow a caravan if you do not exceed 85% caravan to car weight ratio. This means that while the caravan is fully loaded, it should not exceed 85% of your car's weight. The weight ratio between them will determine how stable your unit will be when on the road.

The vehicle manufacturers specify a towing limit for the vehicle which you may not exceed (for example 1800kg).The vehicle manufacturers also specify the maximum gross train weight of the vehicle again which may not be exceeded, for example 3600kg. So for your car to tow a caravan, you need to know its towing limit.
Whether your car can tow your caravan depends on a number of factors, like the weight and shape of the caravan and your cars towing capability. Usually, the car manufacture indicates the maximum weight that the car can tow, which should not be exceeded. Some cars have a higher towing capacity than others.
