Yes fine ty, thats what you get with a Skoda, they are so good at towing you forget you have a van on the back.

There are parts of the A30 that need looking at, some bits you drive up a hill, then the road drops steeply the other side with some quite sharp bends, they are bad enough when solo, but add the weight of a van and if you dont drop down a gear or 2 on the way down to help keep your speed down, you will be a goner

The 2 bends that you mention, They are bad,sharp bend to the right then down a very steep hill, Its ok if you know the A30, But folk dont respect it, Police say its a very good road, Its the users that are bad. I see many a van in match sticks there.Plus the freak gusts of winds you get take towers by suprise
