Raymond, if you're referring to a "unit" as an artic, then it pulls a "semi-trailer", therefore unit and trailer are classed as one vehicle.

Change the tyres at 3mm or five years, then you know your safe, whatever the law says!

Dead right, Mikey.

I retired at 60 in 2003, and just last week I found a payslip from 2002. I find that my income now is

Blocks of wood are free, and I'm a tight-fisted old g......

We use splitters quite often on rally fields, but only share with people I know to be sensible in the use of power.As has been said, you can only use what the post will provide, ie 5 amps each from a 10amp supply.As for safety, the plugs and sockets are thwe same as hook-up leads, so there isn't...

Not so in our county, steve. There is a 3 tonne bridge on our lane, and as my outfit is in excess of 3.5 tonnes, I checked with council before crossing it. (aren't I a little goody-two shoes?).Their conclusion was as Lutz said, it is two separate vehicles, therefore can cross the bridge.

Like Philspadders, I cannot see the need to change if you're happy with what you've got. But, to each his own...... Have you noticed, though, that we all have "the best towcar we've ever had?" Personally, old Classic V8 Range Rovers do it for me. I know they don't have "golf club" staus...

Ryan, if you're going to site the van, why not buy a ready-sited static? Touring pitches are for TOURERS!

And I thought my outfit was heavy with Range Rover LSE (2.2 tonnes), and classic van (1.6 tonnes) I've never dared weigh it when loaded for the annual Euro-jaunt!

That's just the stuff I was hoping for . Ta very much.

Next year, the European Classic Caravan Rally is to be held at Hoor, in southern Sweden.We intend to make it our annual Euro-jaunt again, so plan to cross to Dunkirk, as usual,spending the first couple of nights at Camping le Chaumier, near St.Omer. We plan tro take ten days to travel to Hoor...

Lutz, I don't follow your reasoning re overun brakes. The set-up would be the same as on a twin axle van but with the axles twelve feet apart.All wheels would brake together, so why should it jack-knife? There were some wide-spread axled trailers around a few years ago,which by some loop-hole...

FOUR TONS?????? Which weighbridge did you use?

Lutz, why could it not be fitted with overun brakes? It would simply mean that they would be cable operated than rods.
