woop woop you getting the 636? reversing easier than with the single axle just a knack. Movers heavy but if you cant reverse into the right spot dont think about trying to manually handle it anywhere. We got the hang of the reversing quite fast and never neded a mover . we also had a plate upgrade as our car will tow alot so thought would give ourselfs a bit of breathing room but you could use it for the mover weight

minsapint do you find the atc kicks in if not got a decent nose weight?

Cheers love , yes after it not riding well we invested in the gague and also find a good 90-95 tows well. Car will do 130 so leaves room for bikes on too.  Thanks . Have friends thay do the old "nose weight pft" thing and was begining to think I was paranoid.

And Nit nat, happy camping x x x x

Minesapint - " movers - the best mover is your car - its a twin axle unless you want to shell out a lot may I suggest the £135 caravan club manouvering course - after attending I can pretty much use the car to get the van where i want!"


Glad to hear that!   I'm doing the course on 29th sept so hope it works for me too! pick up our caravan on the 6th October!   Enjoy your new caravan Nat!

I haven't a clue whether ours could be or not. How do you go about it? We could possibly look at when hubby changes his an to one that can tow it instead of the car

You can't have the plate upgraded if the car can't tow it as the unit won't be legal if stopped ( at least thats how i understand it )but you can get it done at a later date if required you just ask your dealer and he will contact swift takes about 3 weeks and costs about £60. I collected the sticker From the dealer and did it myself so the van doesn't have to go in .

the dealer just slapped mine over the old one, bit of a con really they might as well just put that one on to start with!!
