Well we finally picked up our new van today. She towed like a dream even though it was pretty windy. Had no problems reversing her into storage. Hubby thought I got it in easier than the single axle. Just need to load in the gear and then we're off on Friday to test her out, can't wait

Hi Kev we got a Bailey Ranger 620/6, ideal for us having teenagers. Bill the fronty towed brilliant, we have a 2.2 dti Limited which we got cause the Vectra we had just couldn't hack it with our first caravan, done over 30,000 miles in about 2 years and only serious thing that went wrong was the turbo going last year
