Hi,

This sounds a good deal....maybe it's just his "winter rates", but even so it is good to know that vans are available for hire.

Sounds a great deal, and a good idea for any first timers thinking of spending a lot of cash, to see if they like it.

How can someone 'nick it' by only paying a £50 deposit? A deposit is paid at the booking stage and like most holidays the balance is paid several weeks before the holiday starts or at least on arrival, when i presume you sign a rental agreement. It says experienced towers only, so not a lot of good to first time caravanners who want to try before they buy.

If the deal is for experienced towers only, then that shoots my try before you buy thing in the foot, doesnt it?

There are people out there have been towing foor years - and are still useless and shouldnt be allowed on the road. But generally not a bad idea.

I thought the ad meant that if you want to tow it, you had to be experienced, but that they would tow it somewhere local for you, or you could use it there? I've been looking at companies who hire our tourers, and the price in the summer is around £350 per week. It would be interesting to see if this is a genuine offer.

HI,

Reading it again they seem to offer a "delivery service" or it can be towed by experienced towers.
