You will probably be one of the few people using an A-frame or Dolly to do so legally as I bet that's well under 750Kg?

I don't tow much, then usually an unbraked trailer tent, however, this was the biggest expedition I did in my old S60 bi-fuel. Preston - Aberdeen to collect this.

Our outfit, it's our first caravan which we love but we are already planning our next one in 2018- twin axle with fixed bunk beds or bedroom in the back.
