I havent got a clue (at least on anything under 50K) but I would be interested to hear suggestionsw.

The Iveco vans had a substantial chassis unlike other makes and were capable of towing 2.5T. Some top of the range vans were also built on an Iveco chassis. I think some Concords were but in 2012 there may be none.

See if there is anything on ebay. Now and again some classy self builds appear.

Hi, Sprinters now have 3.5t towing capacity as standard, so any with a standard sprinter (notAlko) chassis will do. Michael

I think you might be a bit out on that see screen dump of Sprinter specs, see bottom left, it's only an OPTION so it would have to be a new van to be certain of having such a high train weight, and with Sprinter brakes would you really want to try and stop all that weight.

Niesmann and Bischoff Flair in Iveco, would be used of course at £50K but would tow 2.5 or 3 T.

Thanks all

The sprinter has a 2000 limit as standard,, as Kev_n_Liz have posted

My Frankia had 2300, and that was on a 416, and not enough capacity,,

So maybe a hunt round a few Merc based MH's ?
