I think some of the Shed-Draggers on here pull that or thereabouts . . . .

One will be along shortly to confirm no doubt.

just read your message properly. we pull a folding caravan a lot heavier than that and have no problems. We put some(a lot really) in the back of the bongo also. Don't notice we are towing at all really.

It's only a little chip fryer :( - the oven and George Foreman type grill take up much more room :lol: :lol: :lol:

We towed a folding camper slightly lighter than that with a Focus, no sweat for the Bongo. we have towed a huge box trailer full of shed and we struggled due to overheating - but it was a flaming big twin axle job :roll:

We had our eyes open for you yesterday - but only saw one Bongo in Brid - a Green one. had I known the plan was to go to Brid after we had been to the Deep in Hull I would have let you know :D
