RoamWorthy shows verified UK sample data to give you a realistic range, but your exact vehicle should always be confirmed by registration lookup or VIN plate check.

Understanding the 85% Rule

For safe, stable towing, many experts recommend that your caravan's Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) should not exceed 85% of your tow car's kerbweight. This is especially important for less experienced towers.

For a Audi Q3:

With a kerbweight of 1,445kg to 1,620kg, the 85% guideline suggests a caravan MTPLM of up to 1,228kg, 1,377kg.

Remember: the braked towing limit is a legal maximum. The 85% rule is a recommendation for stability, not a legal requirement.
