Nice, what are you towing with and how the hell do you reverse something like that?

Re: The camping and caravan thread
Caravans are a lot easier to reverse than trailers. I've A small erde 122 tipper about 4x3ft and its a dog to reverse onto my drive. The caravan of mine is about 19 ft including a frame and a damn site more predictable.

Sandbach services achieved. Car seems better and less bounce with new shocks.

Re: The camping and caravan thread
I was just kidding to wind Ben up, the van is stored on a site up here and it's the first time we've used it this year so brought the trailer up with all our stuff in it we didn't want to leave over winter.
I have tried reversing a multi trailer rig and I did badly, that was a 7.5t with a trailer with a bogey at the front and a ticket booth on twin axles behind, driving it round was no problem as they would all follow, you just had to remember you were very long.
Our UK caravans aren't built don't enough to allow having anything hooked on the back.
