Would love some advice please!

I love my 3.5 ton Marlborough Hunter horsebox and so does my horse, but would like to occasionally be able to stay away at shows in reasonable comfort. Where I live it is at least two and a half hours to every show, so I'd rather not have the expense of running a bigger lorry all the time when I'm just off for the day.

I see Equitrek are bringing out a mini caravan to tow behind their small vans and this kind of thing would probably suit me, provided I can be sure my set up is safe and legal.

So question is: what weight of caravan can I tow? and what do I need to watch out for? Being ancient, I have grandfather rights to tow with a car, I believe!

Thanks, I can't find the information anywhere on the web so your advice would be much appreciated.
