The fl2 struggles a bit on hill start no clutch slip but would it be easier putting it i 4 wheel drve so all wheels are engaged? Steve the newby

There is no need to, it is permanently in 4 wheel drive. What weight van are you towing? I tow a 1700kg van with a manual and don't normally have too much trouble pulling away on an inclines. Remember there are never problems, just new challenges

Thanks my caravan fully laden 1700kg as well manual gearbox Steve the newby

It was a steep hill I was on Steve the newby

take caravan off towbar , release vans handbrake, drive away,, job done

of course it struggles its a car not a hgv or tractor. 1700kg for petes sake why do you ever need to take 1700kg on holiday  At work
At home

winner by default of the tractor vs caravan race

Wine cooler.....?

A wallet with some money for a proper accommodation will be a lot easier and lighter for a FL2 to carry than a 1.7 ton caravan....
Just kidding...

No need for a caravan ,
