Thanks caringb for the very useful information. I will never have more than 2 in the car with a combined weight of 270 lbs. I do realize that I will have to limit the toys I bring along.but that should not be a problem and the Audi Q5 is rated as an excellent tow vehicle in europe where they do a lot of “caravanning” I do plan to rent a similar weight trailer for a couple days test run before actually spend real money!
European cars usually have different drivetrains than US models and every car I’ve seen over there pulling a trailer was a diesel. Caravans also have less tongue weight than US campers.
Two years ago, we were staying at the southern end of Loch Ness. There was a campground nearby and not a truck to be seen. Lots of estate wagons and a couple Land Rovers.
Renting a camper is a really good idea and hopefully all works out well.
