I doubt it weighed over that, but it just looked all wrong.  :-\

You mean it looked under-horsed for the task? If it were my money, I'd be going for an e-class with at least 6 cylinders, powered by either fuel.

Unless you want to pitch in grass-only sites, in which case something AWD/4wd would be the required.

No I'm sure it had plenty of grunt, but it just looked weird.  ::)

The van was huge and looked like it should be pulled by a big 4x4 like a full fat Rangie, Toyota Land Cruiser etc not a small SUV.  :-\

You want to watch the Transporter films (3 of them) with Jason Statham

His favourite mode of transport is an Audi A8 V12 - wow

I’d love one but the Mrs says I’ve enough motors with 2 x PFL MV6 and a MK1 Golf GTi

Many thanks for all the ideas/points of view .. even if some of them don't fit the "specification" .....   :)

Just to continue the research so far .. and working on petrol only ... as I don't have a ship licence ...

BMW ... only the 7 series, and from 735i upwards...    weight 1860kg everything else is too light unless you go for the 535 GT option ... not sure the hatchback would work with the amount of kit I carry in the boot, and LPG would certainly not work with a hatchback

Mercedes ... only the S series s350 upwards  weight 1840 kgs everything else too light

Jaguar XF .. most are 1635 kgs .. too light until V8 at 1780 kgs (nearly 1800 ... :)  )

Jaguar XJ .... all diesel until the 5.0 V8 @ 1892 kgs

Audi everything A7 and below max at 1740 kgs, so left with A8 3.0 TFSI 1830 Kgs

Lexus LS ... start at 1830 kgs but prices are stupid and very few 2014 ish around

can't think of any other rear / 4 wheel drive saloons ..  can you .... ?   :)

Tesla Model S...

But it's not petrol ::)

Can you imagine just how limited the range would be with 1700 kgs of tin tent on the back !!  .......  although in ludicrous mode it could break the speed limit for towing pretty easily .....   :)

Those who have done it reckon you get about 125 miles from an X towing a pikey house. S isn't type approved to tow in the UK I don't think

That's the only criteria that it doesn't meet... Will tow 1,900-2,100 kgs depending on the bar type.  :y

As much as I hate pikey vans, I hate hotels just as much.  Bloody 'orrid places.

They serve a purpose if you need an overnight stop, but spending a few days in one is my idea of hell on earth.
