#1: Pulling a caravan Author: acotton21, Location: NottsPosted: Tue Oct 04, 2011 6:51 am ---- My misus keeps going on at me saying she want us to get a caravan lol, i said motorhome but then there's tax, mot and insurance.
Are 206's any good at towing caravans? and do you need to do anything extra on driving licence?
Cheers

Depends when you passed your test with the licence question www.direct.gov.uk/en/M...DG_4022564 can probably answer it though Last edited by macca1411 on Tue Oct 04, 2011 6:55 am; edited 1 time in total

I think its due to certain components that cant handle towing
Same with the Civic Type R, they cant tow because the suspension collapses.
Try reading your manual im sure its in there.

You would need to upgrade your license to hold categories B+E if it was gained after 2007.

You might be better off getting out of the car and dragging it to where you want it

- a decent car
- a tow bar
- a complete lack of self respect
- thick skin
- and relatively low expectations from a holiday
Hope I've helped!
