Hi everyone - having travelled most of Oz as a kid and a young adult, now as an older adult I want to do it again, but this time take my time. I am planning on doing the whole country, not so much off road as I can always hook up with others on the way who have off road gear. I do intend to work in the van - so I need enough space to run my computers and gear (I am a photographer/artist and I will have sat uplinks etc and I teach as I go, so need a little space to work upright).

Before I go buy a whole new outfit, I am exploring my current options.

I have a 2000 Daihatsu Sirion GTVi - 1.3l, 75kw with a (theoretical) towing capacity of Brake(950kg), Unbrake(350kg) ... however, these numbers seem to vary depending on which site you look at!

My question is - Can my Sirion tow a caravan? If so, what size and weight am I looking at? Which brands? And can I get them secondhand?

I am in no real hurry, still waiting for the last awkwardly flapping chick to leave the nest (if ever lol)... but if I can get away with not having to buy another tow vehicle to pull a van, I would be ecstatic...

Any genuine help would be most welcome.
