Horton Common is a gem of a caravan site. Wonderful views, peace and quiet and hard-standing serviced pitches

This is a review of electrictowcars.co.uk, which I think is useful as a introduction to, overview of considerations relating to use of EVs and PHEVs for towing but information as to vehicles on which opinions are expressed concerning comparative merits needs to be treated with caution. The Mercedes GLE 350de is stated as having towing capacity of 2,700 kg, placing the BMW X5 45e on a par with it in that respect, whereas that is not quite accurate because the GLE 350de fitted with the factory fitted tow bar (which I suggest anyone seriously purchasing a car such as this to tow with would have) in fact has a towing capacity of 3,500 kg, important to know for towing a large caravan. Also available on the GLE as part of the Towing package is Trailer Manoeuvring Assist, very useful for reversing a caravan, which I dont think is available for the X5. As for the price of 64,745 for the X5 that is for the basic X Line model, and there is not an equivalent model available in the GLE range in the UK, which are all the AMG spec, so not a like for like comparison. And as to economy, I doubt very that the X5 45e with its 3 litre 6 cylinder petrol engine is going to be as good as the 2 litre 4 cylinder Mercedes diesel engine once battery power is exhausted, as the experience of caravanners generally would attest to be the type of engine better suited to towing than a larger more performance oriented petrol engine.

Went to this site in June 2021 with our motorhome . Smashing little site with fully serviced pitches. Fantastic views across Staffordshire Moorland. Great place for a quiet getaway and interesting local towns close by. Very well kept site great for a short break.

We had a week in the Spring straight after Lockdown. Its a beautiful well kept site with magnificent views. You need your own facilities. But not a problem for us as we always use our own anyway. Well worth a visit with lots of places to visit.
