Hi
We are taking our caravan tomorrow to site seasonally in Devon. When we went down to look at the site it took 3hrs door to door but that wasn't towing and not necessarily legal!!
Apart from the 10mins to get to the M54 it will be all motorway (M54, M6 & M5 Exeter junction) then 19miles to the campsite.
Any ideas how long it will take, what does everyone else add for towing?

From whitchurch to st austell in cornwall took me 6 hours 20 mins. You can knock an hour half off that id guess at least.
