Nice outfit, what does your 'van weigh in at?

Your caravan seems to have lost its door though!

shunt555 · 01-09-2009, 20:08

it weighs in at 1500kgs 1750kgs fully loaded and the door is on the off side german caravan

iceman · 01-09-2009, 20:12

[/QUOTE]door is on the off side german caravan [/QUOTE]

I'd figured that

Thats a fair old weight then on a single axel - although the germans do like to build them damn solid!

went up to primrose valley scarbororgh for 8 days then to skegness for 3 days then on to great yarmouth for 4 days then back home weather was very good only 1 day of rain the whole time we was away shunt555

hi big black your right solid caravan but the xtrail tows it just right although at the top end of its towing weight you feel in control of the unit

Hi there,
I was interested to know how well your motor tows the caravan, I have just changed my Nissan 2.7TD Mistral/Terrano for a 2008 2.0DCI Xtrail 150bhp and have not yet towed with it. Has anyone experience of towing with this engine if so is it ok.

Best regards Aggy

zippy656 · 10-11-2009, 06:47

bloke in my office has an Xtrail. loved it for towing, but long slo whill ran out of steam.

much like my T2

TONUP · 10-11-2009, 16:27

That's a nice looking caravan.

Call me sad if you want, but I love seeing the T2 hooked up the van. It looks really purposeful and your XTrail looks equally great.

Regards

Alan

Hi my x trail is a 173 red i and it tows the caravan with ease. My t2 had a power box on and I thought that towed well but not in the same league as the x trail. All I can say is fantastic, What a motor!!

Aggy · 10-11-2009, 22:15

I am pleased your xtrail 2.0dci 173 tows well. As mentioned mine is the 150bhp version and I hope it will be ok, I know the intercooler and extra bhp makes a difference but I just hope that I will be ok with the 150, my van is about 950kg empty.

Best regards Aggy
