Is my combination of car and caravan legal?

You should have a legal match if:

Z is equal to or less than A

Your car and caravan are a recommended match if:

Z is equal to or less than 85% of X

Your car and caravan are an acceptable match for an experienced tower if: Z is between 86% and 100% of X

As a general rule, the lower the laden weight of the caravan in relation to the tow car, the safer and more stable the outfit is.
