I am having difficulty finding a caravan to match my car. I am looking for a four berth but every van I post in the Clubs matching guide comes out as not a suitable match. Are there any Duster owners towing a four berth?

Sadly the Duster is a very light SUV. But remember the 85% figure is only a guide. Many of us have towed quite succesfully with a raio of 95% or 100%. It would give you more options. You may not have to rush to change your car. I've also found the data held on the matching sites is not always accurate. Check it against the vehicle weight on your V5 document or go to a weighbridge.

Even if the 85% ratio is exceeded if this is two wheel drive the legal limit is 1,200 kg and there is next to nothing in that weight range.

Without knowing the car details, trying to help is a pointless exercise. Op needs to offer more info.

And the OP may simply have to bite the bullet and buy a heavier car. I recall looking at the Duster with diesel and 4wd and it is light. As others have said you need to check the V5C for actual vehicle weight, don’t get hung up on the 85% ratio (outdated concept which only the UK use) and go from there.
