Aah, fond memories of crawling out the side window and tipping one back on its feet.

Was it a Doggy caravan heading for a Dog Show?

No it was about 16' long and a normal caravan. I reckon if the road was wet he would have had trouble starting off as the front of the Echo was looking at the moon. I didn't even think you could buy a towbar for one. But sure enough

Mate, you can buy a towbar for anything! My 88 ED civic hatchback came with one a haymen Reece one also. The car weighs like 800kgs I think the towbar was rated at 750kg. You could barely roll a coke can under it, I wouldn't wanna even think about towing a trailer in it.

A box trailer should be OK, as long as it's not loaded with bricks.

My '93 Cruiser 'tilly has a lower tow ball weight than a Toyota Corolla Ascent

Nah, He'd thought this one through. Have a look at the ring welded to the threaded section of the towball.
