I'm glad to read that this "pulling out" business happens to others - I've often thought I must have a huge "Please Pull Out Now!" sign on the top of my rig!

If your experience is like mine, those that are anxious to pull out in front of you are the sort that then trundle along at about 45mph leaving me changing gear every so often to maintain revs.
Same here, but usually they're taking the next left turn.
As a retired HGV1 driver, I expect it, possibly more than your average motorist, and usually bl**dy well get it!

I used to drive a Fiat Doblo; it was so slow that caravans overtook me! . . ..but the excitement of towing starts from the word "Go!" . . . I have to pull out in a certain way, otherwise the house guttering lies in a heap on the floor . . .
------------- Peripheral people don`t have as much excitement but they sure live longer
TenTz from these forums once told me "Stick with the trucks and stay under 55mph", best piece of advice anyone ever gave me. Save fuel and stress, get there just a little later.
Welcome. We ourselves stepped up from a folding camper this year, never looked back. As previous post said just take your time get a good set of car mirrors and you will be fine. The first thing you will notice is how quick setting up and packing up with a van compared to your tt . Hope you have many good hours caravanning, we have had some fantastic times this year, even with this awful weather.
