your near me aint ya ukravo (s yorks) if so mate, just pull it all the way back, take a week off work sometime in the summer, Hull aint that far, it would be a right laff, get some mates round, get some beer etc, then when night falls, you can all sleep in the thing, like a moving camping ground, just be carefull within the urban areas.

Shouldnt be a problem its like the weight of 3 adults Id guess and so imagine driving the car with 3 people in it.

Just minimise the problem by taking as much weight out of the car when you go then fulling it with as much of the stuff in the caravan ie the gas bottle to make the car wieght more than the caravan.

Then check the tyres etc on the caravan and make sure the caravan doesnt weight to much and you can lift it on you own dont go dropping the caravan on the tow bar using the jocky wheel as its to heavy.

Try and get the weight low down in the caravan as well and make sure the lights etc work as you can get fined.

The main problem you will find is that with a reasonably light car such as a Clio that it may pull you all over the road. Also its an older caravan so will be prone to snaking, just got to take it slow and steady. Hills and getting going may be your only problem. plan your route so you dont have to make too many stops or go up big hills.

Not 100% but do you need to take a second test to tow a caravan? I know that if you passed your test after Jan 1997 you need to take a 2nd driving test to drive with a tralier on the back, but im not sure about a caravan? Anyone else know?

hahahah

Have fun dude, if it starts to snake around behind you, dont slow down, speed up (so ive been told) it pulls you out of the snaking.
