First proper tow with the ZT

tdi90 · 11th June 2012, 13:37

I took the kids for a week away last week at Gt Yarmouth. It was the first proper tow the ZT has done. Caravan fully loaded (twin axle 1400kg) 2 adults, 3 kids, a yorkshire terrier and a full boot.

Loads more power available than the Galaxy I used to tow the caravan with, but I really felt the wind buffeting with the ZT.

Anyway, heres a pic pitched up with the ZT

And heres a pic with the old Galaxy (same caravan Lunar Solar eclipse 615)

I used to tow a large twin wheel caravan with a Volvo 740 estate and suffered the same buffeting. On advice from a fellow caravaner at a campsite, I started using a clamp on wind deflector fitted to the roof guttering on the Volvo. Not only did this eliminate the buffeting, but also gave better MPG.
