how much does a static caravan weigh? Can i tow it on the road with my 4X4?

Answer 1

No you cannot tow it with a 4x4 as the weight of the mobile home is more than the gross weight of the towing vehicle.You would have to have it moved by an articulated lorry and trailer(semi trailer in America) to U.K. destinations. If it could be towed by hooking it up to a heavy goods vehicle it would need the braking system to be hooked up to the air brakes of the towing vehicle. Unfortunately there are no air or hydraulic braking systems fitted to the mobile home. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

I'm sure it'll be the best part of 3 tonnes. You would need a mighty big 4x4 to tow it.

Legally, you are not allowed on the road. Statics tend to have tiny wheels and no road lights or brakes. You would need a flat bed HGV to transport it over any reasonable distance.

I suppose if you're planning to go a couple of miles in the middle of the night with a friend following behind in their car with lights on, you could chance it (but you didn't hear it from me).

Answer 3

A 40-foot park model trailer gets plenty heavy. Just an average trailer can be 8,000-10,000 pounds. That's going to need a full sized truck.

For a static caravan, you'll need to know both the physical and legal requirements.

As you call it a caravan, I assume you're a Brit - the Yanks tend to call them travel trailers Park Model travel trailers are almost the same as static caravans). In which case - good luck with narrow British roads - I'd pay someone to do it for you, in your position.

Answer 4

its not the weight, its the length. you would need a hgv licence and a tachograph.

Answer 5

Get real.

No way.

Answer 6

No, you couldn't
