How much weight can I tow with my 2WD?
Looking for a 2 berth caravan / folding or pop-up caravan. Not a trailer tent.

1600 kg won't be a problem.

Yes, agreed....no worries at all with any 2 berth...we don't know ours is there....Eriba Triton pop top....well worth the extra money they cost....they last forever and are ageless.

Daft question but why do you need a caravan as well as a Bongo?
Sounds like you need a coach built motorhome if all that space is required?
says a man with a trailer tent......
but its now for sale as not needed with a Bongo
( advert on this site in the camping bits for sale section)

Somewhere to put all the luggage while you sleep in the Bongo?

Seriously though you're dead right. A proper coach built motorhome would be a better fit if you need all that space

Been there done that.
Problem with a larger motor home is that once you are on site it can be a bit of a pain if you want to go into town. Putting everything safe etc..also driving and parking the things.
We find the Bongo and small van covers all needs. We can set up very quickly and not have to mess about with awnings. We can pop out to the shops/pubs etc in Bongo. And if we want to do some proper touring stopping somewhere different every night we can leave the caravan at home and just use Bongo.
Also the C'van is a damm site more comfortable.
The C'van also doubles as a spare bedroom at home.
Horses for courses !!

I wonder if the roof of the car would scrape the floor of the motorhome, if the car had an empty fuel tank,and the tyres had just been inflated...It looks flippin close!
