Hi,

I am considering another van after suffering 2 yearsof withdrawl, my question is----

The van we are looking at is about 25 feet long, are there any problems relating to campsite acces or pitches with this size of van.

Sorry I still work in old money;-)

Yes it's about 7.9 Mtr

There are a few sites that say no twin axel caravans, but none I have wanted to stay on. Only had one site turn us down because we were too big for their pitches ( 7.94m)

No problems with ours except for a few sites where access is tight. The owner will usually tell you if this is the case. OH says it's a more stable tow than single axle vans, but you do need a mover.

If you keep it at home it might also be worth checking that you have sufficent space to swing it onto your drive ect.

The lane where my Dad lives is only about 10ft wide with passing places, his gateway is 8ft 6ins wide , we can swing our 6.5mtr van in with a struggle using quite a lot of adjustments back and forth twisting with the mover engaged, but its not easy and something we avoid wherever possible.

Thank you all for your advice, very interesting,

We are looking at a 1999 Eldiss Crusader Superstorm if anyone has any comments?

I have access to large indoor storage at reasonable cost and have towed with a L/R,s for many years, not worried about weight just the size of it on -site
