We have a twin axle 2008 Buccaneer and we're looking to replace it. In 2015 we retired to live in France, which led us into using European campsites much more. The vast majority of sites in France, Italy and Spain seem to have been established when vans were much smaller and the pitches have hedges or trees to demarcate them, which can make access with twin axles a pain or even impossible. Bordeaux refused entry, Chamonix had to use movers to enter & exit not only pitch but site as well. There is also a reticence, particularly near the cities, such as Bordeaux in France, to accept twin axles due to problems with travellers. Please note, not ALL sites in France are like this but many are. Germany, Austria & Switzerland do not seem to demarcate pitches anywhere near as much, so no problems experienced in these countries.
Has anyone else changed from twin to single axle and were you happy with your decision? We have a 3.0 Amarok, so the tug is no problem.
