want to start towing a van and as still dont have a van you got to work around it and at moment only way is hire a larger trailer as no one has a van that cars rated to tow.

finally got the transmission cooler put on the ba.

am as most of you know are building trailer and got to hire a car trailer to take the old chassis away and wondered wether a car trailer with a old chassis loaded on is close enough to a van.

even if you hired a car trailer and either had it empty or found something else to load would that be close enough.

want the ed soon as so vans got to wait but when that happens am building one that looks like the old viscount duralvan but have newer tech that newer ones have.

thanks
A tandem trailer can weigh anywhere between 500 and 1000 kg depending on the build/carrying capacity. If you want to substitute a tandem for the average weight of a van you would need to put a car on it, not just a chassis. A van, once it’s fully built can weigh anywhere from 1500 to 3000 kg depending on length, materials used and what mod cons you have.
