Good Afternoon, Hopefully you have now received your September Club Magazine and read the Ask Your Club article regarding the future of caravanning post 2040. Have you already changed your vehicle from diesel to petrol? Is anyone already towing with a hybrid? Maybe a Tesla Model X? Has the news affected your plans for your…
I am finding it very difficult to achieve the desired nose weight. The caravan is. Swift Challenger 550se - I need to achieve 85kg, but the weight is close to 100kg ( car is a Volvo V70). At the moment I have two 7kg gas cylinders and a spare wheel in the front locker and a 110 amp battery in the battery box,. Plus a motor…

For those of you that have a standard TomTom sat nav, but are able to use the My Drive app to programme in journeys, my App has just been updated and a new facility has been introduced that enables you to programme in the size and weight of the vehicle etc, essentially the caravan version of software that I can see. Not…
I am considering buying a large 4X4 to tow my caravan. One option (among many) I am looking at is a Land Rover Defender. I am also aware that most caravan warranties state that the caravan 'should not be towed by commercial vehicles'. Presumably to do with the stiffer suspension.
