Hi, we are new to caravanning & are travelling from Calais to Chalans & want a Sat Nav which is recommended for caravanners - I can contact caravan club but would be nice to hear your comments & advice.

Thanks again - Barbara

We have  Ventura.  (as advertised in C&C mag.) Expensive but :-

 (a) has ASCII campsites loaded (b) allows height, width, length input features so  no low / narrow bridges worries  (c) most useful  it allows foreign post codes and International Co-ordinates input.

can always contact for further info

Shop around  for  prices.

Hi Barbie,

One more thing  we have  used Garmin Street Pilot 2610 for  4  years/ Excellent.(out of  date now). Selling it on this site pages.

I have a Navigon available from Halfords and have just received an email offering a new upgrade for campervans and caravans. May be worth looking at if you are towing. I have been very pleased with mine.

I'd say don't buy a special caravanning one unless you are completely non-tech and unwilling to learn.(They are more expensive)

You'll get a good deal at Halfords or watch Hot UK Deals (do a search on the website for sat nav (or Google of course) You can set it for Truck Route - that's the same as caravan ones.

You soon learn how they work and they just get better all the time and more user friendly.

Good luck. (and take maps as well - the sat nav sometimes chooses strange routes and you should check )
