You can tow it with a car

A case of a very good set up. European caravans are very lightweight(well at least to us) and do well on paved roads(not so happy unpaved ones}

People here prefer diesel SUV's, for quite a few reasons.You find that some TV's are surprisingly good at towing and have advantages over a pickup.

It should if it is fairly easy to do, like the above is. "White Knuckle" rides are not condoned no matter what the tow vehicle and RV type.

Back in the mid '50s my dad towed a 45' mobile home from northern Minnesota to the Minneapolis area with his 1950 Studebaker 1/2 ton pickup with a flat head 6 engine. Early Airstream ads showed one of their trailers being towed with a bicycle. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should.

This is about as slow anyone gets(no matter what the tow vehicle) going up a steepish incline.Any slower and you would be holding up traffic.
Caravan being towed up steepish incline.

Open your minds - if using the proper materials it can be done - and it looks like it IS being done. All TT's in the pictures severley outclass anything thats made here. Look at the one above - it has a bug screen for towing.

No. You see them climbing fairly steep hills with the above combinations and they are not in many cases changing down.Heavier Caravans , yes need substantially more capable tow vehicles , but not these.
