hi guys,

i just bought a new caravan! well, my other half did. by new, i mean used. its our first caravan. its an old Elddis Wisp 380. its very small, but comes with lots of stuff, and is in excellent condition as far as we could see. I pick it up next Sunday, and will drive it straight home about 30 odd miles.

What are small caravans like to pull? its my first time towing, but i feel reasonably confident. anything I shoudl watch out for? I understand max speed 50 mph, and I understand breaking should be a bit more forward thinking, but any other tips for towing these small caravans?

thanks guys!
