Hi guys...im new here!!
I have got a 2 tonne, 18 foot long catering trailer which I currently tow with an Isuzu Trooper. Although the Trooper easily has enough power to pull it along (3.1Turbo Diesel) because it is short the van snakes very badly when being pulled over 45mph which is obviously a nightmare on the motorway!
When I took it to a food show on the weekend my brother had to follow me in his LWB Renault Master van as I had loads of stock to carry which just wouldnt fit in the trooper.
I soon realised that I would be better off towing the trailer with a van as I would have the added carrying space and as the trailer is huge a van would stop the wind having such an effect on it.
I like the idea of a Sprinter as they look pretty cool for a van and also I have lost count of how many times I have been flashed out the way on the motorway whilst doin 100mph....god they go well!!
The only problem is I really dont understand all the models. There seems to be loads although the most common would appear to be the 311cdi??
Can I please have some advice as to what you guys would recommend? I think i want a long wheel base as you can never have too much space but i dont really want a twin wheeled van.
Also are they good for towing??
Thanks
