That could be useful, but maybe he'll seel the car and get a Range Rover to tow the pikey palace...

Cant really do a useful rollcage without losing the rear seats  :(

Best thing to do is carry 2 cans of expanding foam (per passenger) and stick one each side of the chair. Then, if you do get a 'wobble on' and suspect the worse, shout 'cans!' and everyone should deploy the contents of each can around them.

This will fill the cabin area while protectintg any one inside from any implosive reaction from the roof  :y

Carve your own out of cheese.
Not the cottage variety obviously, a good strong cheddar should suffice.

Well if the OP does get a wobble at 80 with the caravan attached he / she will most definately be wearing the wrong trousers afterwards.
