It works fine as far as I know, the car's only got 40k miles on the clock. However the coolant has never been changed (though its been topped off at least once); should I look to get that done before the trip?
What I'm most concerned about is damaging the frame. The caravan is 2800lbs as it is and most likely the dog + 1 adult and small child will be riding in it, so it'll pretty much be at the 3000lbs limit. Would it perhaps be safer to try and loan a lighter caravan or am I stressing over nothing?
Coolant flush is a must. Remember to watch the temp gauge like a hawk when you set off. I wouldn't worry about damaging the frame. Lighten what you can, drive it gingerly and you should be good 👍
