As a new forum member i'm not quite sure if i am posting in the correct section so please excuse me if this has been placed incorrectly.
I'm looking for any advice please as my partner has purchased a touring caravan and with all the do's and don'ts of the caravan scene of which i have no idea can anyone tell me if my mercedes W124 300TD estate is good for towing such items of metal behind like a 15ft caravan ? I'm just afraid of the auto box having problems which may be silly but when i think of towing a weight such as a caravan it places goose bumps as to the pressure on the merc box ! The car has done over 249000 miles now and still going strong with no oil burning so I don't wish to wreck it by towing.
Has any member had experience of towing caravans with this model and if so did you need any further alterations made to the springs at the back of your estate to tow ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
