Bailey Senator Louisiana twin-axle towed by VW Touareg 3.0 V6 Sport TDi Auto. Solo can get 35MPG on a clean motorway run and when towing it drops to around 20MPG because it has the power to pull away as if it was solo and trucks, vans and other vehicles don't slow me down...

We've had ours for 8 months and we love it. It is the best layout we've had in any van. It is light to tow and sits very steadily on the road, even at speed. Towing is an absolute dream and provides the closest reality of the much (ab)used saying, "I hardly know the van is there". Water system...

I think the Q7 is a really ugly machine and the third row of seats is very cramped indeed, leaving no room for luggage. There is a great video of the Q7 on the "MyTouareg" website, which shows the Q7 being towed out of a muddy field in Sussex - a flat field, at that... and it got stuck. I'm...

Discussed again today with my supplying VW dealer and he agreed to collect the car early in the New year and resolve the wiring problem!! Thanks for all the advice.

New car delivered with factory-fitted 13 pin electrics socket. I use a 13 pin to two 7 pin adaptor for connecting car to caravan. When collecting new caravan last week, dealer pointed out that no power was getting through to caravan fridge... even when ignition on and angine running. Car...

Lisa I so want to believe that it's all a myth about the stereotypical traveller and in reality, from my earliest memories of seeing travellers, I saw nothing but burned-out cars, rubbish and destruction wherever they'd been. From a farming background, there was also a spate of burglaries...

Exactly where are all these beautifully kept clean sites, where the law-abiding, community-enhancing, tax-paying, self-funding, caravan-buying, car-insuring travelling community live? Can't say I've ever come across any of them...

I too prefer the peace, quiet and tranquility of not having too many kids buzzing around when I am relaxing in the van. However, having tried quite a few Adults Only sites, I have not enjoyed them at all and now we don't even bother going to these sites or paying the crazy premium prices they...

Had a 52 plate TD5 Auto for over two years and very much enjoyed ownership. The TD5 was a fantastic tow car and was a real work-horse. Compared with other 4X4s, it is noisey to drive and it doesn't have a great turning-circle. You learn how to make the best use of its power and it was an...

Billed as the "All New 2006 Range" is completely misleading in any case. I really like the idea of the darkened windows but lets face it, darkened windows, black stickers, a new cooker and different upholstery does NOT equate to "All New 2006 Range" - it's a complete nonsense and they are...
