One of the minor things often overlooked when thinking about a camping trailer is that the vehicle you intend to use to tow the trailer will have to have an appropriate hitch that matches up with the load you intend to tow.

If you don't already have a hitch installed, you might want to discuss what you need for the trailer you have in mind with the seller (esp. if a dealer) and also with someone who installs hitches (some dealers do, others don't).

If you do have a hitch on the tow vehicle, you'll want to make sure you get something that the hitch is rated to tow, and that doesn't exceed the MTW* rating of the vehicle itself.

* MTW = Maximum Towed Weight

Even for a small (or very small) towed load, there are a number of factors that can be adjusted a little to make a lot of difference in how much fun you'll have running around with something tied onto your a**, although most things are standard enough that you can get by with the basics.

In the US, hitches are generally to SAE standards, while I believe the UK will probably follow ISO. As I'm not fully familiar with the ISO** variety, I'll leave it to the people affected to look up what they find of interest.

** Either place, there's also the NATO system/standards, but those are NOT RECOMMENDED for most expected uses with camping equipment.

Installing a hitch (coupler?) shouldn't be a major cost on most tow vehicles likely to be used for things discussed here, but could be enough to merit knowing at least approximately in advance what you might need - if you might need to change something.
