Service Stations

[John_374564913]

The first week of July I shall be travelling from Manchester to Bosnia first time pulling caravan

When pulling into a service station both in England and Europe

do you head for the car signs or the lorry signs

please note I will be pulling a twin Axle 26 feet Approx

the reason i ask is I am worried if I follow the car signs might be tight for caravan but if I follow lorry signs then if a lorry can I should be able too

Please advise

John
