    Next silly question. Is there a weight limit for the outfit? Mine goes 4.25 tonnes.

    Best way to pay tolls

    Does the tag differentiate between an outfit and solo car? I'll be towing to the south but using the car solo on the peage once I'm there.

    Passport Renewals

    At the risk of being called "Fred Drift", my passport is due for renewal in June next year after the likely Brexit. Does anyone know how far in advance 'British' passports will be issued?

    Insurance declined.

    Does this mean when you take out a policy with any other company and they ask the standard question "have you ever been declined insurance" and you answer in the positive it will have an impact on the price of the new policy?

    Caravan specific sat-nav

    I have a Caravan Club version of Snooper programmed with the outfit dimensions and weight. It's generally pretty good but sometimes does strange things. Going to an alternative site in Austria it took me halfway up a mountain then down the other side on a narrow road. If I'd stayed on the...

    MOT reminder

    I got a reminder for Mrs Chrisbee's car 28 days before the MOT was due. I opted to also get one 2 weeks before the MOT expires but as I've now had the MOT done I doubt if I'll get that one. The system seems to work great to me. :)

    Weather

    [ . But the cars are now fitted with Cross Climate + tyres so if they are as good as shown on YouTube and German tyre tests I look forward to being stuck behind all the cars and trucks who aren't going anywhere on their summer tyres. :-) And that's exactly where you will be. No matter how...
