Whoops!

Looking at this, I wonder what speed the car and 'van were doing?
....... and how well he'd loaded it too !!

Too fast and badly loaded I suspect!, the trouble when towing with a van is there is very little weight at the rear of the van. Couple that with a poorly balanced van and you are in trouble.

Wow!

There's been a couple of incidents in and around Derby recently, both resulted in total destruction of the caravans.
Speed being the factor in both events.

One of the reasons for me buying my ZT is it's towing capability as me and my good lady are planning on buying a caravan in the near future and upgrading from our trailer tent.

Sadly my lovely ZS isnt man enough for even a modest van.

Steady as she goes!
Thats my towing motto! Better to get there late than never!!

To much weight at the back makes the tail wag the dog but it needs to be balanced with most over the axle.
