V70 Towing Caravan
Hi
Question on how to get the best out of towing with our '09 V70 D5 Geartronic. We've just bought a new twin axle caravan and are over 90% of MTPLM. To best alleviate any downsides of this we're resolved not to carry any excess weight in the van and to be fair there's oodles of space in the car and we can fix a bike carrier between the car and the 'van. To top this off we've got a monster 60 litre Thule roof box, so no shortage of storage! However, it occurs to us that with 2 Adults and two teenagers added to the mix we may be just shifting a problem. Would it be a reasonable solution to uprate the rear suspension/shockabsorbers and what effect might this have on towing? |

towing electrics 850 t5
Would like to put basic towing electrics on the above car.Have done this many times on other vehicles by piecing into the relevant lights.
Is this possible on these cars or could damage be caused?Certainly don't want to pay Volvo prices for a kit.Is there a diy method that has been proved to work? bournricha
