Ok cool I will look at those ratings - I thought towing capacity was all that was legally required so I'll look into it.

Yes I knew on a cooler but the local caravan place said not required if only towing 10 times a year max for only an hour. That may be wrong.

Thanks again BB.
Do your homework re weights. This is where alot of people can come unstuck and potentially get fined or miss out on an insurance claim if something goes wrong.

Edit: Here is a link that will help.
