Tow vehicle/van


We currently have Hyundai ix35 and are looking for a suitable van. Tow ball weight is 140kg. and Max towing is 1600kg. Any thoughts, I am looking at the moment at a Bailey 403 Orion as it ticks all the boxes for what we want and the weight and sizes, but not sure of build quality for Aus.roads. Any suggestions and help would be appreciated.

I ended up with a Jurgens 1901. Other light weight full size brands that I looked at were Swift & Elddis. There are others but quality was a real issue on those ones. Just watch for insurance. Some companies will not insure something that is not assembled here. Most assemblers use major brands to fit out vans (fridge, stove, loo etc) but sourcing the body panels can be an issue.
