Having gone from a 7.6in wide 5th wheeler to an 8ft caravan, I’m surprised how little difference it makes when driving. However once parked on site the Tardis effect kicks in, the additional space is very apparent Have others noticed the same effect.
due to retirement and the loss of our company car we are looking to lease a new vehicle any recommendations please for good deals and can they have tow bars already fitted? thanks
