We've just sold our caravan and are moving to a campervan.
The first question is ... when did you pass your driving test. If after 1997, you may need to take a towing test. Or be very limited on the car/caravan combination.
There is an excellent forum at www.caravantalk.co.uk/community/
You will need to find the approx kerb weight of the car. The recommendation is that you buy a caravan with a maximum weight of up to 85% of the car's kerb weight.
Stabilisers are now built into the tow head. And later caravan also come with ATC (applies the caravan brakes if it detects a 'snake').
I highly recommend the caravan club practical manoeuvring course. Even if you don't do the course, buy the manual - it's packed full of great tips.
