If your motorhome is indeed 7.5 tonnes then you can only go to a maximum 8.25 tonnes if you have a pre 1997 car licence like most of us. An earlier post mentioned 8 3/4 tonnes which was wrong. This is why many people who own 7.5 tonne American RVs and driving on a car licence are breaking the law towing a car behind unless of course that car goes under 750kg which not many do.
I would say yes as long as you have fitted a tow-bar and not a length of rope on the bumper, I can recomend some nice roads in Switzerland if you want to lose the caravan, Ahem
