I hope you're not going to be towing with the Four!  ;D

Have you reached that age where a caravan seems a good idea then?  :D

It's not the caravan that's the problem, it's the majority of owners. When I was a sprog we had one, it used to regularly overtake multiple cars on A roads if they were driving even remotely below the speed limit lol!

The 4 tows very well, even a car on a 4 wheel trailer.

I know, I know - 4's are normally towed not towing.

Now that's a good reason why I attach the backup cable somewhere other than the towball. 99% of people don't though.
