That sounds promising, the 50mph limit I have is more me than the Jimny.
So in a nut shell I am at the front of the queue :laugh: :laugh:
Sorry about that

Hi All... Yes, it does look massive... Camera angle... It's 855kgs empty, and now I have it packed its total weight is 970kgs the maximum for this caravan is 1050kgs... Of course, it is braked, and there's an Alko fiction hitch fitted (I put new fiction pads in a month ago). I have hitched it up to the Jinmy already and drove it 45 miles through towns and along the A19 from Newcastle to Middlesbrough, and to be honest in my ignorance I just took off without a thought (ignorance can be bliss). I had no issues at all doing 50 mph, which is my wife's preferred speed and to be honest it's mine also, but both the caravan and Jimny were unloaded.
As for travelling across the EU in the Jimny I've completed it there and back in days, but without the caravan. With the caravan time will not be an issue, the max speed will be 50mph and if it takes 10-12 days so be it. Safety first, over speed. At least I'll have a bed and a cuppa, if I break down and need to fix something, so no problem. I have read somewhere the Jimny is capable of towing up to 1300kgs so I'm well within weight limits, and I'll have no passengers either.
Of course, a bigger car or van would be nice but then I'd probably have a bigger caravan and well, I have what I've got the Jimny and the Abbey.
Thanks for the well wishes and of course when I get home I'll let you know how I got on 'warts an' all'

Good man. I know that the UK's towing speed limits are 60 on motorways and dual carriageways and 50 on single carriageway trunk roads unless posted lower. It is going to be worth checking out the various limits in the countries you're travelling through for vehicles with a trailer they may be less than expected.
