Usual bone of contention which I really don't want to start off again!
I would appreciate some feed back from people that tow caravans, just so I can get a rough feel for the mpg that I should expect on a long run. mine is a single axle/1.5 ton max but have seen a twin axles on a Sorento which seemed to be coping very well. I know we all have differnt styles of driving/caravan wieght/drag factors, I'm just look for a rough idea.
Thanks very much for the feed back. A few more weeks and I am off to the top of Scotland(Scorie) from Norfolk so this is going to be a good run and the longest caravan tow I would have every done. Seems regardless I am going to get a fairly good average as I was expecting less, so far solo running at best has been 28 mpg. We will see??
Have heard no bad reports on the Sorento as a tow car, believe me I have checked every source I can find. Last car was a Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDi which nearly cost me my caravan. even solo I did not find the car stable, so anyone thinking of one check the weight?? they are not as heavy as the manual states.
