Does that apply to all forms of finance? I thought some forms of leasing were excluded.

I believe Ford and PSA, now Stellantis, had a joint development for the wet-belt engines, hence the common problems.

I imagine there's wide variation in the wifi bandwidth drawn down by each caravan - many will just use it for wifi calling, emails and forum surfing - while others will want to stream HD TV and films for hours on end - so it doesn't surprise me that site owners limit their spend on wifi...
