Westminster (see previous thread) didn't seem to care too much when they towed my friend's car; despite giving a long list of required documents - but she had her driving licence with her.

I only use the caravan approx 4 times a year with the furtherest distance travelled being around 250 miles.Therefore i normally opt for petrol models rather than deisel for the better performance whilst not towing.
