hi john,the forum is great for advice ,i have just returned to caravaning after a long break,caravans are a lot luxurious today from when i use to caravan

 

[captain1]

thanks michael i do agree about the comfort but are the caravans getting rather heavy unless we have a large powerfull car i dont know the answer just asking the question.

best enjoy the luxury while we still can

Hi John, about 14 years ago we towed a trailer tent with a citroen Xantia. Burgendy colour. Mind you i think that they were all Burgendy. Great tow car for it. I managed to lock the keys in the boot on holiday in Cromer. Me and the kids b*gg*r*d off quick to the play area and made ourselves scarce while himself phoned the AA!

michael the van royce is the bees knees for comfort and quality is it not so i expect it is heavy

mel yes the xantia does make a good tow car and it is burgandy and i hope it lasts a long time we only we only use it for towing, our other car is a smart thats not good in front of caravan

john;I know the quality is amazing seeing the van is 14 years old,i had never heard of van royce before i bought it,it was at the dealers in the back lot when i saw it ,i only paid

 

[captain1]

nice all the "bits" can soon add up to a lot of cash on top of the price of van and you are pleased thats the thing out of intrest what is the all up weight is it heavy?

 

[valeter]

not sure of exact weight but i had no trouble lifting van or towing
