Anyone on here towing a family caravan on just a B Licence? I'm looking to sell my camper and buy a car and caravan but with a 3500kg limit on the Gross Train Weight, it means I'm having to look at vans under 1350kg and most i've seen are about 1400-1450kg. Looking for something under 10 years old with a double dinette ideally. I've seen a couple of Bailey Orions which seem to be fairly lightweight but they're probably just out of budget.

Completely agree that the law is ill thought out. I know it prevents people towing large combinations but when the difference for a car caravan combo could be something as little as 100kg difference, you can see people using a poor match just to keep the weight under limit, causing greater danger.

I've not ruled out the test, but thought I might be able to do it. I was looking for and end bathroom but with a rear bedroom too, as seen on a few vans where the fixed bed is a bunk instead but it really does limit choice!
