Hi we are in the process of buying a new caravan and cant decide on what to get, a twin or single axle ? Ive been told that it is harder to book a twin axle into a site as limited space for twins as opposed to a single axle. Is this correct ? We like the space inthe twins but dont want to be restricted by limited twin axle pitches on sites . Help !!

It's not usually a problem with twin axles; the Club books/websites will state a length restriction if any, and I imagine that the websites of commercial sites will too. Tell the site when enquiring if it's not clear. We love our twin axle.

Hi John,

We started out with a couple of single axles, I went in for toilet fluid one day and came out with a new twin axle.

For me I much prefer the twin axle, extra space, better towing, stability. Would I ever go back to a single? Very much doubt it.

Each to there own though and it is a matter or personal preference. Never ever had a plroblem on any sites that I have been on.

Cheers!

The conqueror 645 MRO is 1622kg and MTPLM is 1900 so probably we would only load van to 1800 kg or so. If that was the case do you think that would be ok ?

Yes because your car with two adults plus say awning will weigh in about 2100kg, you can also look for public weighbridge load car 2 adults plus extras for true kerb weight.
