How large a caravan can I tow legally in the UK?
A touring caravan with:
* a maximum laden weight not exceeding 3,500 kg
* an overall width not exceeding 2.3 metres
* an overall body length not exceeding 7 metres (excluding drawbar and coupling)
…is the maximum size that can be legally towed by a motor vehicle whose maximum gross vehicle weight is less than 3,500 kg (so most 4x4s and even Transit type vans are not allowed to tow caravans that exceed the above dimensions). There are very few such large caravans in the UK, but it is as well to be aware of this.
