This has just pulled into the transport yard across the road, do you think they’d notice if I just borrowed it for a couple of years?

@DRHysted

Depends on how much they intend using it

Have you got a Scania to pull it?!

Doesn't need owt that big, Just a Transit Tipper (double cab) and some lucky heather to sell

A common question on caravan fora is “can I stand on the roof to clean my caravan?” to which many answer “good God no! You’ll surely crush it like a paper bag!”. This perhaps offers some confidence that it’s OK.

Some manufacturers now claim roof structure is strong enough

Surely that image is worth its weight in Hyundias to the manufacturer?

If it’s a Coachman they are very strong with regard to the structure, but I wouldn’t stand on it, iirc Polar Caravans used to have an advert with a Volvo 144 on the roof

I wouldn't want to try our Coachman either, despite what it states in the handbook!
Elddis Affinity, by the look of it with the added roof-load

On Monday, I saw, on the M62, a Citroen Picasso (one of the 'push me - pull you' shapes) towing a twin-axle 'van
It'd certainly be on, or over the limit, & probably a 'tail wagging the dog' waiting to happen

Over the limit, you say...

I much prefer to see the old Fodens/ERFs/etc… of the showmen, with a ‘wagon & 2 drags’

It would be well over the recommended towing limit, rather them then me

@DRM
I'm not reading anything into this, but immediately in front of it, was a Ford Transit pick-up, with 'pinch-board's on it

Now that's a caravan!!!
