Romany if you are looking for the tonnage because of bridges etc. then don't forget to allow for the extra weight you put in when carrying holiday gear. |

Hi Uzzi. We dont know if our car will pull a heavy van, hadnt thought about all the stuff we'll be putting in as extra! Think Im going to have to give that one a miss now, the seller wont answer any of my questions. We're looking at a Dethleff Rally now. xx |

Lol Uzzi we might still bid on it, if we can find out the weight. If its more than a ton we cant have it. Its nice inside though. I want a caravan SOOO much, been outbid on every single one in the last week. |

I think on googling the Abbey that it is over a ton (there are several Abbey GT's ) . |

If you can look at the van there will probably be a plate on the drawbar or near the door which gives some weight information. |

:-) Thanks both. Hubby says thats the maximum weight for the car, we've got a Saab but never had a caravan before so dont know if he's right. Im watching about 6 caravans now, as long as its 4 or 5 berth and got no damp it'll do, hadnt realised the world and his wife would be bidding on them this summer. |

Kitty, I'll look at that now, hadnt heard of that site before, thanks. Uzzi havent a clue what size engine it is, all I know is its more than a 1.8. (I dont drive lol and dont know what Im talking about.) We have a 3 bedroomed tent but its sort of open at the bottom and therefore cold :-) so we're looking for a caravan with awning. Am watching two now, they end tomorrow so keeping fingers crossed, would be so happy to get one, just cant afford to spend a fortune. xx |
