We have never owned a twin axle, and would avoid them based on what we have been told by people familiar with them.  (1) When turning, or on roundabouts, van tries to push straight on, so a sturdy tow vehicle is needed to control it.   (2) Without a mover, they are a beast to manoeuvre.  (3) The site owner where we stayed in August has banned them from his grass.

Before anyone sets out to hang me, bear in mind that this is what I have learned from other people; it isn't my personal opinion.  But it would still influence me from ever having a twin axle van.

They are easier to reverse as they dont move about as much as a single but when towing they do handle different to a single axle.

A motor mover would be very useful as stated above.

I tow a single axle tourer, but have towed a twin axle trailer at work and you do notice the difference, mainly when turning

I personally wouldn't tow a twin axle with a Vectra, maybe you could join the 4 x 4 brigade.

Just purchased a 620/6 and had no problems with side turbulance on the motorway and it was very stable behind my C8 (max tow 1700kg). No problems with cornering on A roads either and I even turned it round from the outside lane of a dual carraigeway to the inside lane on the other carraigeway without any hint of resistance from the van. 

Hi we have a twin axle and we love it, def tows better than the old single axle we had the only thing I would say is yes you will need a motor mover.............other than that go for it, if you have the right tow vehicle.

We have a twin axle and it tows like a dream. Not that I do much towing cos I'm the navigator. Our motor mover is called a landrover discovery, hubby very good at reversing and in 4 years of ownership have never had a problem getting on a pitch. I do agree though that you need a big beastie to tow with. If nothing else, for peace of mind.
