That does look good Bruce. Just a week too late. We signed up for a new Iveco based Jayco Conquest last week. Just waiting for a couple of things to be done to it prior to pickup in the next week or two.

Just couldn’t find anything second hand that fit our criteria. On the lookout for a Suzi to tow now.

Lesley does it HAVE to be a 4WD?
Suzuki make a nice little car they call the Suzuki Urban from memory.
2WD, 2door & nice & light.
Not sure about towing it though.
We have a 2WD Suzuki, 4door with spare in/under boot floor rather than on tailgate.
It's just called a Suzuki Vitara ...... not a Suzuki Grand Vitara.
Grand is V6 & a little thirsty whereas ours is 4cyl & runs very cheaply.

Not necessarily Bruce but it does have to be automatic so I think that rules out everything except the Grand Vitara 2016 or earlier models and the Jimny with the modification we have been talking about in the flat towing thread.

Happy to be corrected if anyone else knows.

Well? ........... I thought you were too busy with project 2,3 & 4? hehe.
I just looked up my owner's manual & it looks a lot like Suzuki really don't make any vehicles that can be flat towed anymore.
Even the Grand like yours Bernie aren't towable any more? Or are they? (I'm talking late models ... 2016 onwards.)

Bruce, I believe Suzuki still make them but they are no longer imported into Australia. Hence the 2016 cap.

Bernie, I assume one of your projects is to motorise the Golf so we can park up the MOHO and trip around in the Golf. In that case you are welcome to join us. [emoji6]
