List vehicles with full sized spare tyre please!
We have a Vauxhall Omega 2.2 diesel estate which has a full sized spare tyre. Its was one of the last models before they stopped production of the Omega.
We have been looking for a replacement vehicle for ages!
We need a good sized boot (for the dog) with easy access as she finds it difficult to jump in.
I have contacted Vauxhall regarding their new vehicle the Mokka? Which will be released for sale in September 2012 - it only has a spray tin in the event of a puncture. I have asked if it will hold a space-saver wheel, they said it will, but have stated
that a space-saver is not suitable for towing and in the event of a puncture, accident of other problem Vauxhall would not be liable as they do not recommend towing without a full sized tyre. They acknowlege that most insurance companies will not offer cover
in the event of using a space-saver while towing!
What are caravenners to do? Does this mean that we now have to purchase a full sized wheel and find somewhere to store it?
I hope the caravan manufacturers, caravaners and magazines and clubs will all lobby the makers of these vehicles otherwise we will all have problems with all these new vehicles.
Please could the Club print a list of vehicles which offer a full sized spare wheel as I am searching the web and its quite diffcult to find these details!
