Are you considering a folding trailer, but doubt your car can tow it? If so, you’re not the only one. One of the most frequently asked questions is, “Will a folding trailer fit the towing capacity of my car?” The good news: in many cases, the answer is yes. Especially if you choose a smart, lightweight folding trailer from Holtkamper.
In this article, we explain what to look for – and how you can quickly check your car’s suitability yourself.
What exactly does “pulling power” mean?
Your car’s towing capacity indicates how much weight your car can safely and legally tow. This is also called the allowable towing weight and is broken down into:
- Braked towing weight: if the trailer tent is equipped with its own braking system (as with Holtkamper)
- Unbraked towing weight: without its own braking system – usually for smaller trailers
You can find your car’s maximum towing weight at:
- Your registration certificate (at RDW: “permitted maximum mass of trailer braked”)
- Or through websites like the RDW or Autoweek (based on license plate number)
What does a Holtkamper trailer tent actually weigh?
Holtkamper folding trailers are known for their lightweight, well thought-out construction. Depending on the model, the empty weight is often between 400 and 580 kg, with an allowable maximum mass (weight + luggage) of up to about 750 kg.
This makes our tent trailers suitable for a wide range of cars – including smaller family cars.
Calculation example: does it fit?
Suppose:
- Your car may tow 1,200 kg braked
- You want a Holtkamper with a maximum permissible weight of 750 kg
✅ Good news: your car can handle this trailer just fine.
Note: always keep in mind luggage, people and slopes.
Why Holtkamper is ideal at lower drafts
✔️ Lightweight models – Quickly fits within the towing capacity of most cars
✔️ Perfectly balanced design – No heavy nose wheel or overloading
✔️ Stable handling – Compact on the road, roomy at the campsite
✔️ Also suitable for hybrid and electric cars – Due to low rolling resistance and weight
