You might have some difficult questions to answer when your random passengers turn out to be illegal immigrants or smugglers. Seriously.

Another thing we found with Eurotunnel is you can change the travel dates at any time, you have to be careful though you have to pay the difference. We had the idea of just booking the outward trip then book the return a few weeks in advance of returning (our daughter could book & post the vouchers) BUT you can't book a trip starting in Calais so make sure you book the return at the same time. As there is a strong likelyhood that we might have to come back early we booked a more expensive crossing for the return to give us some flexability on getting a crossing, the price increases the nearer you are to the date of travel.

Totally agree. I took the plunge and bought the frequent traveller deal. 10 single trips to be used within a year from first trip. Size of M/H makes no difference. Great if you have animals to take. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Just have to switch off the LPG and that's it. Easy Peasy. Have nice snooze, watch a film, whatever and 30 mins later voila! Bienvenue a France.
And when that old Channel weather gets really nasty - still nice and cosy! :raofl::raofl::raofl::raofl::raofl:
And if you get your check in timing wrong, makes no difference with 3 or 4 crossings an hour. Just jump on the next one.

Multi trip offer
Hi guys, I have just been looking at the DF DS seaways website and they offer multitrip deals starting from £19 one-way if you buy 12+ crossings. I would be happy to buy a multi-trip package but wondered how many people on this website may want to use them? These deals are totally transferable to anyone, and are completely open ison dates etc this. There are restrictions on some dates, however the deal would be open for 12 months and would run until December 30, 2011. I think it's a fantastic offer that could benefit everybody on the wild camping website. Comments please.

Hello
I take it you mean the deal would run until Dec 2012.
The price you quote only applies to vehicles under 5 meters long and less than 2.4 high. Think you would find it a lot of hassle to save a small amount of money.
I think if you live in the north of England its well worth considering P & O crossing from Hull to Zeebrugge especially if you have a vehicle which is heavy on fuel. I travel regularly to Heidelberg in Germany (have family there). Hull to Zeebrugge cuts my journey by 292 miles saving about £60 (each way) in fuel. Overall it still costs me about £40 more but I consider this a good deal to avoid the awful drive down to Dover and we enjoy the overnight crossing although we have been fortunate to avoid foul weather.

Cheapest solution : rent a campervan in France
Hi there,
Maybe the cheapest solution is to rent a campervan in France!
If you fly from London to Lyon, we can pick you up to the airport and from here, you start directly your roadtrip from Lyon with a Blacksheep-van motorhome. All our camper van are brand new Volkswagen T5. (Info and booking at blacksheep-van.com)
Indeed, it's interesting only if you plan a holidays in the French Alps or the Riviera...
Enjoy the summer and try the adventure of a roadtrip with Blacksheep!

Nice try but I think you will have a hard job convicing people on here that it will work out cheaper to leave their motorhome at home and fly in and rent one of yours! :raofl:
