Quote: Originally posted by blatchatter on 21/3/2014I have my ideal set-up at present. I tow my Caterham 7 on a trailer behind my motorhome.

For many years we had been caravanners and usually spent our summer holidays in France. With some wonderful driving roads over there we decided to swap the caravan for a motorhome so that we could take the Caterham to France and have not regretted it.

Alsace here we come again this year after the Le Mans Classic

I think Mr VWT4Transporter you might need something a little bit bigger to tow a Bugatti Veyron

I bought a Combi Camp trailer tent and had an engineer build a towbar assembly for the rear of my Cobra so this year were off to Anduze in the Cob towing the trailer tent. POWER !!!!!!!

Just as a matter of interest, how do you tow the Caterham? A frame ?

The Caterham travels on a trailer which lives in the garage with the car on it

Hi,

I have my own version of a 7 and intend to tow it around Europe when I retire, I have towed a camp let behind the 7 for a touring holiday last year and covered 3000 miles in Spain, Portugal and France.

Regards

Bob

We use a caravan when helping out on campsites but there is no way I would want to use one on the road, I prefer a Motorhome.
Quality of build, we have a Hymer, it is quieter-in rain/sleet/hail.
It is warmer, better insulated, and we like to use the Aires abroad which is something you can't do with a Caravan!
We tow a Peugeot 107 behind our 2001 Hymer.

We got a honda vision in December and a carrier on the motorhome. Can't wait to get out on it in France and Spain.
I wanted the fireblade but she wouldn't allow it 😔
