I can't seem to get the Cockpit out of my mind. I just love the look and the interior design.

Ohhh how I want one!

Yes, that's a nice looking one, it's well shaped (good aerodynamic) and has a very good and complete equipment !
The ALCO axle is indeed a very good one, well known over here and found on lot's of heavy trailers too.
And this Cockpit S has brakes on it !
Good choice !

Your towing limits for the Jimny in the UK are 350kg un-braked and 1,350kg braked. With a decent trailer, the Jimny has no problem shifting loads up to this maximum weight, however my experience suggests 700kg would be a sensible limit if you are planning to go any distance and to maintain any speed up hills. The height and width of the caravan is a big consideration- anything much taller and wider than the Jimny will create a massive amount of drag and it's this will make doing sensible speeds hard work.

There's a couple of Jimny Caravanner reviews here:

Much niser than a teardrop
I would think that would be fine behind a jimny - why don't you go to the dealer and get a test tow
Just make sure you put any heavy kit in the jimny rather than the caravan when youre towing

Thanks all (yet again)
Yes I like the idea of getting a test tow. That might be a good idea
I did phone the dealership today and they said they have had 1000cc Micras tow them fine
So I've checked into the tow bar fitting and I'll get that fitted and try and get a test tow.
