Out of all the sites we've been to in France, I think that would fit in about two of them.

You are effectively towing a static, so tick on “statics” in the Site Search as well as caravans. If a static got there on an articulated lorry, you should have no problems.




Statics don't get delivered on an artic, it's like a flatbed recovery truck but slightly longer.


Whatever! I’m just saying that if a static caravan can get to a site, it’s a good bet that the OP can tow their unit to it.
It’s not my choice, I’d hire the static instead, wherever I fancied (no insurance or winter storage problems etc) but I wish the family many happy holidays in their new mobile home.

2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

So, having a trailer that's just around 11 meters will need a different mindset when planning sites. Not many will accept that size as in my experience it's not the pitch size but the access. Site owners / management have little or no concept of a large American outfitand most have no interest. I have an American fifth wheel trailer and found with detailed planning that touring in the UK is possible but frustrating. I've moved mine to Spain on a long term plot now and have a motorhome to use in UK!

Yes it’s all about the access to the site isn’t it haha.
