Question: are hobby caravans legal in the uk?
Answer: In the UK you are restricted in towing by the body length to 7Mtrs, this does not include the A frame. If the van you want has a body length over 7Mtrs you will need a vehicle with a GVW of 3500Kg or more, which rules out the X5 and most other vehicles apart from Sprinter vans and the like.
