It'll pull a caravan.. Might drink a bit of fuel though.
However, there are some things to consider:
How heavy a caravan are you after, you can't just tow anything.
When did you obtain your driving license? If it was after 1997 you'll need a better one.

Oh... and that. :grin:

I suppose it depends on how long you are over there for.. Does your golf already have towing gear and electrics, because there's another expense to consider.

Yeah I just got a camper, not cheap, and for a run to France you don't want to stoop too low on budget or you might not even make it there. :grin:
Well if you've got access to free towing gear then maybe being a temporary **** is the cheapest move, despite being at the cost of every other motorist behind you! :grin:

In fact, why even bother towing when you can drive one! :grin:
