    Suggestions needed for an economical 4x4 crewcab pickup for towing...

    I have an 07 Navara which tows our Ranger 540/6 like its not there. Solo around town i get 28mpg so on the A30 you should see 30+. I worked out 24mpg when towing.

    Bike rack

    Does anyone use a towbar mounted carrier, if so, what make/model do you have? I tried one from Towsure but once I hitched up the van, I wasn't confident of the wheel not catching the van so returned the rack for a refund. I'm looking at the Witter ZX89. Anyone use this rack?

    Rusty Towbar

    The paint on my Navara tow bar is peeling, a quick brush and some hammerite should sort things.

    Nice site in Lake District ?????

    Hi, We are looking at going to the lakes next month for a week, any recommendations? We have a couple of kids so a decent play ground would be handy. Would prefer somewhere with a decent on-site bar also. Thanks.

    Chatsworth

    We wanted to 'do' Chatsworth site this weekend but they were booked up. We ended up at LooseHill (Castleton). Great site, very clean & tidy. Only critisism was the kids play area.

    Buying a 6 berth van - advise?

    We have a Bailey 540/6. Great van with triple rear bunks. Not that common though.

    best estate for 3-5 grand?????

    I disagree with William, we towed with an A4 Avant 2.5TDI Quattro which was a brilliant tow car. We still have the car but also now have a Range Rover. The A4 gives 40+ MPG solo and 25-26 towing.

    audi 2.5 all road with baily lousina

    I have an A4 Avant 2.5 TDI Quattro which pulls a Bailey Ranger 540/6 with ease. Great engine along with sure footed 4WD. I'm sure the All Road would be an even better tow car.(Although I have just also bought a Range Rover !!)

    Thanks. Magic Dragon, we bought the van from Robinsons but am looking to save a few pennies (or pounds) if possible.
