Hello Everyone

  I have just purchased a 1993 Conway cruiser and will be picking up on saturday.I  have never even towed befor so any advice on towing and also the cruiser would be much appreciated.
  Have booked a week in august at searle park hunstanton but will get as many weekends in before that(weather permitting )

thanks for any advice

Congratulations on your new purchase. The main problem that you will have towing is that with a well matched combination you could forget that you are towing!   Because your braking distance will increase train youself to anticipate what is happening ahead, leave a good distance between you and the car in front and brake early and slowly. When you pull out at junctions (and when you get the confidence to overtake) remember that your outfit is at least twice as long  as your car, so give yourself plenty of time. Hills will slow you down so change gear earlier than you would normaly. Finaly, don't forget that you are restricted to 60 mph, don't let other road users push you to go faster and enjoy.

One additional piece of advice is to avoid cutting corners! After I picked my Cardinal up I nearly took the side off on a railing, I missed it but only just. Pull well forward and allow yourself as much room as you can on the inside.

Otherwise though don't worry too much.

Am I right in thinking that the speed limit is only 60 on dual carriageways or motorways, otherwise it is 50 when towing?
