: a good tow car?
minnnt 02-02-2007, 10:51:12 does anyone on here have any experiences of towing a caravan? looking into a good tow car, something that looks wicked, goes well and wouldn't struggle with a small to medium sized caravan... the meg 225 has a towing weight maximum of 1000kg. which is fine for what i want, but im sure it would drink the juice even more, and would surely put extra strain on the engine, but if i was to swap it would cost me **** loads of money at first, and to be honest, i haven't got it spare as its kinda tied up. any suggestions on what to do?
thanks peeps.

Nick the Greek 02-02-2007, 14:06:23 Am i right in thinking that you can't fit a towbar to a 225 anyway due to not having a metal floor under the boot?
If your looking to tow something i'd probably just look at a 2ltr and upwards diesel. Lots of tourque for pulling sh*t.
The last edition of Evo had one of these in as a 'under 10k hero', i reckon it'd pull a caravan no problem.:D

Ant Eg 02-02-2007, 14:23:32 Book yourself into a hotel or buy a tent. Caravans are just annoying, what do you do with them for the 50 weeks when you are not on holiday?
Can I start a riot by saying caravans probably fit into most peoples top 5 of things they would not like to be stuck behind on the road?
van cleef 02-02-2007, 19:22:24 :)What about a phase one Skoda Octavia Vrs?
These things are pretty cheap to buy with VAG reliability,there quite a good looking car with an engine with plenty of potential.:)

minnnt 03-02-2007, 08:19:15 that audi would probably pull a house down, and im sure its not fuel efficient. the 225 can be fitted with a towbar... :)

Think it's an old Renault 5
shinyautos.com 05-02-2007, 11:03:23 Go for a turbo diesel of some sort mate, great for towing, but all depends on how much you plan on towing as you could get a cheap jeep that would be perfect for towing.

thanks meggs, i love volvo's... would need to be a D5 though!!! think i might give it a whirl with the meg, as the c a r a v a n would only weigh something in between 750kg and 900kg... if its a no no then i will be swapping. :D thanks guys, really appreciate it !!!
