We are due to go away on good Friday, a fair haul to Great Yarmouth, I plan to fill up about 4 days before (we wont need the car much for the four or so days before) and then top up as necessary till we go away. Once there depending on circumstances we will use public transport and top up as and when possible. If I get stuck, then so be it, at least I will be towing my bed, toilet and kitchen behind me

We intend to go away for easter for our 1st time with the new van but only 1 hour away to the Cotswolds, didn't want to go to far in case of any problems and our dealer is nearby in oxford for any warranty issues. Providing there is fuel one tank on the X-Trail will be fine for us to get there / back plus some driving around. If things get bad then we will have to cancel the weekend as won't head off unless I know we can go with a full tank. As they have announced the strike today next Tuesday will be the 1st day they could technically walk out.....so will just need to keep an eye on the news and keep our fingers crossed!

No plans to be away for Easter anyway, but first trip of the year may get extended if we find we arrive on site and have fuel supply problems. We have just bought a 230v 1.5sq ft mini freezer for the caravan, so will fill that up with food basics on arrival, and then we wont need to make so many journeys into town, and will enjoy the Seascapes and views around the site instead.
