You do not mention what size caravan, or most importantly the ATM.. WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE FULLY LOADED WEIGHT,
If memory serves me well, the max towing weight for the Commodore is 2100 kgs [ and you would need a load leveling set-up ] as for the Tow Bar go the max hvy duty as specified by Gmh. The price of the van seems reasonable, IF it is in good condition, check it carefully, and then check it again'
OH good luck and Happy Travels dazren

Those weights are well within the Commodore's range, If you really like the van and it makes you happy Go for it ?? and then get out there and use it

Pam L,

If it is for sale why not place an Ad in the Classifieds so that people can contact you in the appropriate manner and not via the forum.
