Hello, I've towed a bit before including caravan, trailer tent and boat. I have a Series 3 Bailey Cabrera coupled with a BMW X5 3.0 auto. We are thinking of going to Garmisch in the German Alps and then going on to Lake Como before trundling to Brittany to meet our family. Long way, I know. I've been looking at the routes…

Hello, we are wanting to visit a friend who lives in Thiviers France. Looked up what appeared to be an ideal site within walking distance of the town. Camping-le-repaire.

We showed the police our trailer certificate and…

We’re due to travel on the Poole Cherbourg ferry 8/30 arriving 14/15 on 26th June one of the strike days. We booked through the Club Will they notify us if it’s cancelled and will they…
