cheers all- will have to dig out the towing bracket this week and get it fitted- the bracket itself is only a 20 minute job, but half the interior trim has to come out to do the electrics

Now that's just what I say to Lilian but unfortunately our caravan holidays have been put on hold this year what with her hip and then the operation going wrong she is still in hospital now with her legs tied together and not allowed to move for 14 days and then to be on crutches for 8 weeks. So I think we can kiss goodbye to caravanning this year

Steve won't it be cheaper to stay in a 5 Star Hotel with all that fuel you're going to burn
Still much more fun the way you are doing it!

So when I overtook this truck on the Derby ringroad, forgetting I'd got the van on the back, it was only the quick thinking of the truck driver, and his heavy braking, that enabled me to return the car and van to their owners undamaged at the end of the holiday. The memory still brings me out in a sweat....... malcolm |

As Jules says with the Cost of Fuel, why not get a Static Caravan or two at locations you love.
On Moving the House Static Van recently, I found the CDTi in this instance doesn't like moving a Fully Loaded 35 odd foot by 12 foot caravan out of Mud!! |

the plan longer term is to site the van somewhere not too far away and zoom up in the mini for weekend breaks- short term ( while we make fools of ourselves) there are a couple of nice, well appointed sites less than 15 minutes drive away that we can use to chill out and familiarise ourselves with how everything works etc..
Derek, hope Lillian is better soon.
