I've just changed my car to another one with rear wheel drive. I've not experienced any "getting stuck" problems with previous vehicles but had a slight issue after rain with this one in a national trust car park yesterday when solo and this surprised me. I thought I should maybe get some portable tracks to store in the boot for caravanning. Can anyone recommend a brand? Or should I get some chains? My rig is a Mercedes E220 CDI Estate and a Bailey Senator 5 Oklahoma. No problems with my old BMW 530d Estate bit maybe I was just lucky!

    A solo rear wheel drive car is much less "stable" in slippery conditions than front wheel drive , but when weight is put on the rear ie caravan then it is more likely to get out of a wet pitch than a front wheel drive car has "lost " weight off the drive wheels

    When most cars were rear wheel drive (showing my age now) we always loaded the boot to give traction (when we had snowwink
