Childbride & I drove to Newcastle & back & stayed O/nite last nite. As we are
thinking of buying a caravan, we look closely at them while travelling.
Probably 90% are towed by 4wd. The ones towed by cars all looked level & rode well.
About a third of the 4wd vans were tail heavy & some weaved about, particularly
when overtaking. A similar proportion were the opposite..front down, though this didnt
appear to hinder handling. The balance, looked level, & were generally older tugs
driven by folks that looked like experienced caravanners. The biggest surprise was an
Xtrail towing a dual axle van that looked about 20' long, very slowly I do add, must
have been close to illegal, not sure. It appears getting the show level may not be
that easy, or dont folk bother too much ?. All interesting stuff. You wont be that
interested to learn my old Peugeot 405 went up & back on 52 Litres of juice at 14.6
Km per Litre (or 6.8L/100km) sitting on the speed limit, but I'm laughin my
T*** off...:)))))........oldbaz.
