It doesn't look like paint to me maybe it is. however, does anyone know if the tow ball needs to be made a silver colour before attaching the...

    Returning to Caravanning

    That's an amazing caravan for that weight. It's been 20 yrs since we caravanned with our family so it's a bit like starting over again.

    Quote from Gov.UK "The gross train weight is the weight of the fully-loaded car plus fully-loaded trailer and must not be exceeded". I reckon that means up to but not beyond? I could have up to 100 kg in the 'van and around 350 kg to spare in the car after me and the missus have got in it.

    Returning to Caravanning

    Hi. Thanks for that. It really does confirm the way I have approached this myself. I will ask the dealer prior to picking the 'van up if they can weigh it before I take it and the car to a weighbride myself. Also my licence states BE and wasn't sure that it was the same as B + E?

    Returning to Caravanning

    Hi all. We have decided to return to caravanning at 70 yrs old. We where caravanning for a number of years whilst our children were growing up and thoroughly enjoyed it. Due to the current situation with covid we decided it would make sense, as we are both still fit and active, to take it up...
