FAO Rog Towing with Renault Master horsebox

[Vodkagirly]

Subject to mechanical check, I'm getting a Renault Master van. It has a towbar fitted. I was wondering if it is safe to tow when it is loaded with a horse (thinking one of the mini caravans not a trailer)
I have a pre 97 license.
Thanks

I tow with a Renault master 3.5 ton lorry ..I tow a 980 kg caravan... Hills can need a low gear, but otherwise it's fine.. My lorry is slightly wider than caravan and that makes it more aerodynamic. Still can't reverse it tho!!!!

Looks very long to reverse. Do you know what the legal tow weight is?

Thanks, does that mean theoretically I could have a horse in van and tow another?
