V60 D5 auto - sensible weight for caravan

Friendly · Aug 9th, 2017, 20:52

Hello
I am looking to buy a caravan sometime in the next few months and have been looking at what layout would be best for me, the wife and the baby. We think a 5 berth traditional layout would work well, with living areas at both ends that get made up in to beds.

Looking at various manufacturers it would seem that the maximum weights range from about 1300 -1600kg.

I know that the tow limit for the car is 1800kg and the max tow ball wight limit is 90kg.

Does anyone have any experience of towing a caravan with a V60 that can offer any advice about what weight of caravan would be sensible. I'm sure there is plenty of power so it's more the stability, and stopping that I am concerned about.

I have looked on the tow match websites and a caravan of about 1400kg would be under the recommended 85% but thought it was still worth asking on here.
