As long as you keep it away from the Fjords :)

The Garmin truck nav if its like my DEZL will tend to err on the safe side( main roads) with routing when truck is selected . They are very reliable for avoiding weight limits , height limits and mandated width limits but not so much with just narrow roads .

Are these a fairly recent development ? I can see the appeal to the operator , never come across them myself , but then haven't had to take water on in France for a few years :)

So any hozelock type spray gun as used for vehicle wash etc would work ? if you already have one...

Depends on where you are able to mount it , and viewing angle :)

Garmin DEZL TRUCK NAV very reliable on height, weight , but a bit over cautious on routing shorter routes , but as previous poster the width only reacts to posted width prohibitions , not on just narrow lanes due to lack of mapping data input .

They should be OK there's a GoFundMe over £10K AFAIK :)

As a last shot suggestion , it might be worth dropping the oil you currently have and doing a refill with this https://www.redlineoil.com/75w140-ns-gl-5-gear-oil its not cheap but really good stuff . I have used their products over a couple of decades , in extreme conditions eg Australia ...

About the only manufacturer that I know that keeps full range of parts going back decades is Briggs & Stratton . Some older vehicles are reliant on owners clubs for non fastmoving parts . Its going to be lack of some small part that puts otherwise viable vehicles off the road more and more .

I am with RAC Arrivals thru C&CC current vehicle is 7.4 mtrs and 7.5 tonne , previous was an RV 12mtr 11.8 ton . Both assured as covered . inc Europe when over there .

Socks are a very limited life type item for emergency unsticking , say up or down a hill . Chains will achieve the same and more for a lot longer period of use , and can be used (abused) on limited non packed snow sections , So you need to work out your likely duty cycle requirement to get...

Virtually all starter motors are "pre engaged" type now , eg the solenoid levers the dog into engagement with ring gear and at end of travel bridges the contact that make it spin up . Further development is the geared drive starter .

To eliminate fault in solenoid operating circuit do a straight jump from 12v feed at starter to 12v input to solenoid terminal . This will check out if starter circuit relay etc is faulty . Low voltage to solenoid gives symptoms similar to those quoted . and was common with quite a few...

Do you have a driving licence for over 3500kg as I would suggest you will need a vehicle that has enough payload , and also ruggedly constructed . The customs (carnet) are non avoidable .

The important thing is the type of vehicle ,for compliance with the directive , Bus one represents M type vehicles eg passenger carrying the truck one is goods carrying vehicles category N , this is frequently marked in V5 . :)

Sorry found it quite while ago , English translation , haven't been able to find again .:(

On the French Gov website , it specifies "Camping cars"(motorcaravans ) to use bus sticker . There are only two legal stickers truck and bus .HTSH

One criteria that all satnavs are poor on is width . They all seem to only be aware of statutory limits ie 6'6" etc narrow roads don't trigger anything . Height limits are far more reliable . I have also noticed over time shorter routes are not "shortest " route like earlier satnavs...

The reality of both the Ford and trailer if taking them where they are supposedly designed for rather than on reasonable dirt roads , would be painful in the extreme , especially the trailer , from MHE .
