I have bought a Sterling Europa 520 caravan (too good a deal to pass up) with a MTPLM of 1415kg and when I use the Towcar Info website, it states that the caravan is a bit heavy for my V50 2.0D.

I am looking for some feedback from any members who have towed a caravan of a similar weight with a V50. I am of the opinion that the outfit, with care, will be fine, but if needs must, I will have to change to a V70. In fact, I have placed an add elsewhere on this forum to see if there is any one interested in a swap for a V70 but I really don't want to part with my V50 if I can help it as it has only done 29K and it is a pleasure to drive.

Any advice will be warmly received.
