From what I've read on here, you don't need a trailer test if the total weight of that rig doesn't exceed 3500kg .................................

................... but I would check to be 100% sure

Bit of good news, rung dvla n spoke to a lovely young lady name Charlotte, she's told me I'm legally allowed to tow 750kg OR max vehicle and caravan weight of 3.5 t with my van, so il looks like the caravan I got given yesterday for scrap, WILL be getting Matt blacked this week, and maybe an air freshener inside so if I got there for 7 or 8 Friday night, n stay til Sunday, with a caravan, whats it gona cost me? 2 people by the Way if that matters? Maybe 3 ? And do I need to ring them this week n tell them n pre book? Cheers

im assuming you have a 190 (3500kg gross) in which case you can tow up to 750kg - thats it...

[manwithavan]

Yeah it's a 190 I think the caravan weighs about 580 kgs so should be ok

[robbie.cee]

what do u reckon shall I risk it from near Scunthorpe!!

get new tires on the caravan, cost me £190 for roadside recovery and new little tire after borrowing a caravan for a festie, blew out on m40 spare was fkd had to drive 8 miles with shredded tire to get off motorway...

or put on bigger wheels else they explode over certain speeds!!

[MinorMatt]

small tyres don't explode on the motorway...

Just knackered ones

[manwithavan]

Not a bad idea lads, it's been stood 15 years after all lol

[manwithavan]

The caravan is now black!! Roller n brush with more runs than the olympic team!!
