Hi all We are thinking of towing abroad for the first time next summer - mid to late August. We fancy Brittany (like the look of Domaine de la Ville Huchet) or the Netherlands. We are not sunworshippers but dry weather is always nice. We have 2 kids (8 and 5). Not that into on-site...

hi ed,we tow our sprite major 6 with a 2002 santa fe,never had a problem,it tows very well and is always very stable.we also get good mpg solo and when towing.also very good warranty,have just had propshaft joint replaced even though car has done 75000 miles and is nearly five years old.

hi we used a 1994 fourtrak last year to pull our new sprite major six,brilliant towcar.only down side was that they are only two door.

Hi We are going to a Caravan Club site near Folkestone in August (called Daleacres). We have planned a daytrip through the Chunnel but less sure where to go that might give us cheap, family-friendly days out in the local area. We are members of the National Trust, would be grateful if any other...

Hi We stayed at a CL called Uplands Cottages a couple of weeks ago. It is only a few miles from Cheddar. We liked the site, though the caravan field is a bit of a walk from the toilet block. The owner was very friendly and helpful. There is an outdoor pool, but we didn't get to use it - might...

I'll probably get into trouble for saying this, but Caravan Guard have been as much use to us as a chocolate teapot. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had similar problems. When our caravan was 10 weeks old a young driver drove into the side of it, pulling onto a main road while we...

hi,yes we are very impressed with our santa fe,we towed with it for the first time at easter,it does not have the power of our old fourtrak,but it was so quiet and smooth when towing that you almost forget the van is on the back.only thing it did not seem to like was reversing the caravan up a...

hi all,picked up the santa fe today,good job we had the cam belt changed as when it was stripped down they found the water pump was starting to leak so this was replaced as well as belt and both tensioners and the other belts.also managed to tax it yesterday for 12 months before todays...

Hi Colin You are right, the fourtrak tows effortlessly. It's been a really good car for us, wish us luck now selling it! Thanks, Luisa

hi colin,we are changing the fourtrak because we no longer need two big cars as our son no longer needs to use the wheelchair he has needed for the past two years.we like the fourtrak but find it a bit impractical as a main family car. We're hoping to sell it this week.

sorry about that clicked the comments box by mistake.

hi all ,the fuel economy sounds very good solo,thats what we get out of our petrol picasso, we are replacing our fourtrak and picasso with the santa fe as we do not need two big cars,any more but i have to travel about with my job so the fuel economy is important.the steering lock on the...

hi phil,glad to know they seem to be trouble free,hubby is an AA man and has never been to one broken down,what mpg do you get when towing and during normal running about.

hi,no we have not towed with it yet as its in our friends garage having a new cam belt fitted as its needs changing.we are going away at the end of the month with it,but we are going to take the caravan out before just for a shake down run,will let you know how it goes.

after looking at many different cars to replace our fourtrak,we have bought a 2002 santa fe.we got it for a great price through a friend in the trade,we did a fair bit of research on them and they seem to be well liked.does anyone have one and what do you think.we have a 2006 sprite major six...
