Can I tow I tow a lightweight Caravan with a Jimny

Well, we picked up the Eriba Pan.

Actually we haven't actually picked it up as we met the chap on a Caravan Club site. I'm sat listening to the rain pitter patter on the roof as we speak.

It's a lovely little van it's soooooo cute!

I'll be getting it serviced when we get home and have all the appliances checked. Everything seems to be working including the excellent Truma blown air heating, but we are just using a fan heater at the moment to be safe.
No rot that I can see or traces of water leaks inside, although the fridge fuse blew before we got to the site so only saw it working on gas and although I can't smell damp 'just the usual caravan smell' the floor at the entrance seems a tad flexible hmmmm.

We love the look of the van and also the interior with the nearly full size pop up roof that I can easily stand up in phew! There's plenty of room inside and the finish of all the fittings with dovetail joints on the cupboards etc is just wonderful.

I have a feeling that the can purchase will just be the start of things to come watch out bank balance. Lol

Here's a pic from yesterday when the sun was out.

Glad you are happy with it .
I look forward to the next chapter "The Journey Home"

Well, we managed it! We're home with V.I.N.CENT (from the black hole film)
The Jimny towed swimmingly, I did have the feeling that there was a strongman pulling me back, but once moving it was fine. It did a comfortable 55/60 and only neede the odd downshift, we even got a very steep uphill section with 1/2 mile of roadworks and it was bumper to bumper all the hill starts whent fine ( well Amarth from stalling it once. Lol).
The worst bit was trying to reverse into our carpark :-0 and after numerous attempts and stopping the traffic and people walking past on the pavement we gave up. Good job as I got the faint smell of burning clutch :-0
However moving it by hand was an absolute doddle, we should have done that first and will do that straight away next time.
