Towing weight question

Nothing wrong with the ols syn for towing. I've not owned a svn, had a pug 806 1.9tdi then a fiat ulysse 2.0 jtd essentially the same cars apart from headlights and badges, brilliant towing vehicules. Might try to "borrow" a c4pic with a towbar for a test tow.

I can't say a EGS would make parking with a caravan very easy. I would always go for a manual when towing, though it would be interesting to find out if the EGS has the same towing weight as the manual.

I have never found " parking " a caravan easy , a 40Ft Trailer was much easier to place. But since you only do it once or twice per trip it's no big deal really.

Just got back from an extended jaunt with Synthia & The van'
saw quite a few Grand Pics on the road , all with smaller ( but not neccessarily lighter ) Vans ' in tow. but none where we stayed - so nobody to ask .

I am assuming ? that since the Syn' is essentially a Commercial Vehicle with windows etc ( but has a very nice compliant ride )
it's Clutch is pretty beefy considering the load capability.

Don't really know whom or where to ask about the strength / longevity of a G.Pic Clutch - EGS or Manual . Especially when towing .
