    I’ve seen caravans that weigh over 3,000 kg, good luck towing that with a hatchback.

      Well, there is a lot in the “I have seen” category, but e.g. my car could tow a 1800kg trailer, which offers good caravan space for four people.

      Yes, for a 3 ton trailer one will need a larger car than mine, but even they are towable by cars in Europe.

          Don’t remember what brand of car that was. I worked in a caravan shop decades ago, and my boss had a car - a station wagon, not a truck - that easily pulled 10m+ caravans, Tabbert caravans, back then it was “Princess 1050” IIRC, just like the modern Cellini models.
