Quote "I've no wish to re-open old wounds or to revive a discussion that has been aired on the forum many times but one of our forum regulars, Roger L, had a letter published in the letters page of the April edition of Practical Caravan Magazine (Page 14). Bet you wish you hadn't opened up old...

I have had the Towsure 260 porch for 4 years - easy to erect and quality is ok. It does the job of being an play area for kids,(table and chair etc) and also part of the walk in wardrobe for coats and shoes

Is the van always in this state or just the morning that you were "having a look" ? Maybe the van was about to be moved - was it attached to a car at the time. Or mind your own business and stop making assumptions.

Val Thanks for that. I have just booked the crossing for August. These prices had disappeared from the CC site so I was getting concerned about the costs. Thanks again Jon

Wouldn't go from a Coachie to a Bailey - I've seen the "build quality" !!!!!

Are you thinking of going into the Transport Business ????

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - Is is over yet Dad ?

Which series Mondeo are you talking about. The old Mk3's had self levelling as standard on the estates models Zetec S,Ghia, Ghia X and ST TDCi. The MK4's have it as an option only on the estate's. Hope this helps. P.S I had a MK3 Zetec S Estate and was a very able towcar.

Don't quite see why people should justify what car they own and why they "need" it. Car's and caravan's are bought for different reasons and no one is the same - bought my first cavavan back in 2005 so as a family we could go on holiday's and as both my wife and myself were taken as kids in...

My first van was an Amara 500/5 2005 model towed with a 2002 Mondeo Zetec S diesel estate. Great towing car IMO - go for at least the 130bhp and all estate models from Zetec S upwards have self-leveling suspension. Can't comment on the Passatt but the Mondoe is a well respected tow car and would...

Just booked most of mine - bank holidays, half-term and weekends ( Yes I am one of the dreaded "weekenders" ) . Got in when and where I wanted apart from Knaresborough in April.No problems with site running slow etc.

My wife has a Ford Kuga and she love's it. TBH it is great fun to drive and throw through the corners. If your wife likes her Focus then the Kuga might be the way forward for her.

I'll second that ! Funny how the original post gets lost in other peoples' ramblings

Aplogies - should have said the old shape S-max has a kerbweight of 1802 kg. They did loose weight when they were facelifted !!

The kerbweight for most S-max's is 1800kg - so well within the weight of your caravan. Where did you get these figures from ? My old Mk3 Mondeo hatch weighed in at 1650kgs. The 85% is only a guidance by the various organisations and publications and has no legal standing. IMO it should be...
