|
|
Yes...after months of talking about it....we've done it..!!!!
Purchased a double axled Elddis Tynedale (1994 vintage...not rich like you Hobby blokes ). Anyone have any tip or advice about towing this 21 foot (6.7m - shipping length) beast about with a 2.5 Paj? There's lots of general posts about towing ...I know, but I wondered if anyone had any specific experience with this beastie. |

I tow a single axle Compass Ralley 460/4 with my 2.5 with no problems although from a safety point of view fit a stabliser. The weight of my van fully laden is 1460Kg. As a rule of thumb as long as the van falls within 85% of your kerbweight all should be well |

Hi ceedee, I have an Elddis Superstorm, 26ft, Need to keep the noseweight between 90-100 kgs, Does yours have lock holes in the corner steady wind nut covers? I put padlocks through, much cheaper than the round oem locks |

hi we have a fleetwood heritage and it is 27.5ft long, you have to keep a eye on your mirrors for the caravan wheels cutting the corners, we pull ours with a 2.5td auto with no problems.
