Re: Towing a Caravan - Mechanical strain etc

As others have said, check the regs in your state.
10% is usually the maximumrecommended, with a range of 5~10%.
Provided the suspension and towhitch are up to it, I prefer to overload the hitch, but only for extremely big loads.
How much does your Passat weigh? If the van is under 75%, AND has good electric brakes, then you could rebalance it down to 80kg which would still be above 5%.
