I wonder how many Omega Forum members let their partners do tricky stuff like reversing or even driving!

It was actually quite entertaining.

Funny you should mention paint drying as painting was exactly what I was doing!

I caught a bit of it. One quotes was that "that guy has £80k there in terms of van and car"

That would buy some bloody good hotels  ::)

Cannot understand why some people make a total cock up of reversing a caravan, yes I watched it as we have a 26 foot twin axle Elddis ,found it hilarious they have picked  some of the worst examples of drivers bar 1 (the welsh guy ) it"s easy as long as you concentrate & use your mirrors don"t stick your head out of the car window like some of those idiots last night, even SWMBO can handle a 26 footer !!

Twin and triple axle trailers are much easier to control than singles, regardless of length although longer is easier due to better leverage ;)

Would prefer a nice big 40 footer Yank with push out sides and a nice sounding Detroit oil burner pushing it along....heaven  8)

Yep, piece of cake with a 10m long glider trailer too. They want to have a go with my little camping trailer. Can't see the damned thing behind an Omega until it's broadside on to the car. ::)

Put the camper trailer in the back of the glider trailer then,  ::)

Don't have trouble with any type of trailer or caravan , I think some drivers just get into a panic & common sense goes out the window.

You could always do like one couple did. They always reverse their little trailer by hand. ;D ;D
