Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a caravan but I need to be sure that I will be able to get it up to my house before I buy. As you can see from the attached pictures I have a fairly steep drive with a sharp turn immeadiatly inside my gates. My gates have a clearance of 3.9m but I'm worried about the tail swing because I will have to make the sharp turn. I need a 4 berth van, but would like 5 berth for extra space. I know its hard to tell from pictures but do you guys think its doable to get a van through these gates?
What about a motor mover? Could I reverse the van up to the gates and hook off. Then use the motor mover to get up the rest of the drive. Its a 25% gradient at its very steepest but parts of it are less steep than this.
I think the answer to my next question is probably a no but here it is anyway. Do you think my local dealer would be prepared to take a caravan out to see if it will get up?
Thanks
