I wasn't on about a pikey palace, I've got a tin trailer (Halfrauds Erdé type) we normally use for camping

So you're not even going to notice it's there then  . And you'll be able to do 60 on the motorway/dual carriage way for a change.

A tow bar

I've got one just didn't fancy towing a tin box up the A74(M), I've pulled a 44 ton 45 footer up there enough to know what it does to lighter trailers

Is there a comparison ......... 



and they're ally  .....

Too uncomfortable to sleep in

Big 4 person tent, air beds, sleeping matt, my feet can stick out the end! I am more comftable in a tent than in a burger van. None of the bloody things are designed for the 6ft5 man

       you beat me to it!!!     

The man wants to go camping, not sell burgers on the truck stops of the A43 

I shall need to look at roof boxes soon, what with LPG tank in the boot. They can be mega expensive, think i will keep an eye out for second hand ones!

I don't think you will fit in one

Why would i need to fit in one when driving?   

I actually only use the full capacity of the boot once or twice a year, when camping (3 of us) the boot was rammed, rear passenger seat which was spare would be piled high in tesco supplies.

My main concern is how to fit my snowboard in, a roof box will be the only way, as long as i find a big enough one. I usually like to squeeze in a snowboarding road trip trip to Landgraaf in the summer  8-)

Very uncomfortable for 3 of you sleeping in the roof box then

I remember seeing an Over 75 estate pulling an Erdé trailer up past Metalbridge and I'll swear that the tyres didn't touch tarmac for nearly a mile, then just bounced and hovered again! Took me 3 or 4 miles to get him to pull over so I could tell him!

and you then need somewhere to keep it, where you're not falling over the bl00dy thing.
Boot space or lack of it, is a main dis-advantage for me for LPG  :-/

Same, i have thought about it, but when i actually think of the amount of times the boot is used to its full capacity is rare.

Thought about storage of a roof box to, again thats going to be a pain. My thinking is to hang it in the garage.....

If you are stuck to 60 you might as well have some luxury

I have seen a Rover 800 grinding its rear end on the road with a van on the back

Well after their free bed and board the last thing they should do is complain

THIS is what you need

[tunnie]

THIS is what you need

£1,499 

If i had a Disco, would consider that, looks very neat when packed away. Think if you had that on an Omega you would look a bit of t!t
