It depends on what they are and how many you have! However, you should never exceed the weight limit of your vehicle (you can find details of this in your owner’s manual). Towing affects vehicles in several ways, including increased fuel consumption, reduced vehicle control and manoeuvrability, and decreased acceleration and braking performance. Therefore, when assessing the load, consider the weight of both your vehicle and your caravan, including the number of passengers you intend to carry, equipment in the tow vehicle, modifications to the tow vehicle (like bull bars and roof racks), and the load on your caravan. Some of the major contributors to heavy loads can be gas bottles, water tanks, generators and bike racks. It is also important to consider extra weight you may accumulate along the way, for example, toilet waste cassettes and grey water tanks.
