  |
|
Hello all, Although I have towed various styles & size of trailers over the years, we only started caravanning three years ago.
Have now decided to get ideal van and ordered Abbey Vogue 600 twin axle for delivery at End March 2008.
Now the big question, current vehicle Rover 75 Tourer, is not suitable - should we go 4x4 or MPV?, diesel or petrol /lpg?. What MPG can I expect?
We have a growing family of three boys, 12,7 and 2yrs, with NO plans for any more.
I would like to here from anyone with a similar van (MPTLM 1700kgs) and hear their experience, any advice is most welcome.
Thanks, LittleBuddha |

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the advice, sorry in taking a long time to respond- been trawling the motor dealers.
ML270 now looks favorite, I would like to hear from anyone with experience of towing a large caravan with one of these.
I believe that an Auto g/box would be best, but would like some reassurances on this matter.
