I tow a twin axle Swift Challenger 645 with a AWD 180 diesel Powershift. It's a brilliant tow car with the auto box and is always in the right gear giving smooth effortless towing,it's easy to forget the caravans there.

Yes they are a great towbar.

You chaps do realise that with a caravan on your speed limit is 60mph on motorways and duel carriageways and 50 mph on national speed limit roads. I find as my mk1 has a 100kg nose weight on the towbar, that's the down pressure on the towbar from the van, it's difficult to get the ballance correct, otherwise it's a great tow vehicle.

100 kg on tow ball is cars maximum down weight what is caravans maximum nose weight I find its best with our outfit to load towbar at around 50 kilo handles like a dream g

Also another quick one when towing with powershift do you keep it in normal drive mode or sports mode?

What kind off weight is your van your kuga if you are experienced will handle 2.1 ton with no hassle if the caravan is roadworthy and loaded correctly.

1500 km will be fine on your kuga just watch how you loads same as your last moter be interested to hear how you get on go and enjoy
