Sorry to dig up.old thread.

Nearly paid for caravan as under weight (Passat 2200 braked, Haymen Reece fitted a 1600kg limit) so thought all good.

Then I'm told by dealer yesterday (checked and correct) my "tow ball weight only 80kgs" so can't tow any caravan as usually around 10% of weight at ball.is minimum safety.

Totally ****ed off as previous owner towed a boat and I'm sure I could a small caravan (1400kgs) would be fine, and was on my test drive, but legally I can't buy any caravan as none are that low.

Ridiculous.
