Hi all,

After toying with the idea for years, I am just about to buy my first caravan and pitch on a seasonal pitch near Alnwick. Been a long time reader here and reading tales about trips has prompted me to take the plunge.

However, I do not have a tow bar and have to admit the cost of fitting one for whar would be one journey seems a bit steep.

Does anyone know of any towing services in the Sunderland area (where I live) or the Northumberland area (where the caravan will be pitched) that would tow it for me. Had a quick look but couldn't find
anything specific.

Thank you in advance
Steve

Hi Steve, what is the weight of your van? If less than
1540k I can tow it for you.

Do not know if there be any insurance problems though.

All the best whatever you do,

Andy
