To tow or not to tow

[Deleted member 12539]

I gave up caravanning and switched to motorhomes and campervans because I was fed up with all the work involved in hitching and unhitching everything. Wouldn't want to go back to it, I found it very difficult and hard work on my own once the kids had grown up and didn't want to go camping with me anymore, so towing a car behind would defeat the object.

However, each to their own and whatever works for you. I tend to do my sightseeing en route and never stay more than a few nights in one place so it suits me better. I either walk or catch a bus if I am on a site and need to go somewhere. I appreciate that isn't possible for everyone.

Caz, this was the case with us, we had an Eldis Bermuda, twin axle caravan hooked up to a T4. By the time the T4 was across the other side of the road, the caravan was still on the drive, so we had to unhitch and re-hitch every time we went out.
Our answer to that problem was to site the caravan each year, at a maximum distance of an hours drive/ride at the most, which enabled us to use our motorbikes to get away each weekend. We could and would go back to that if required.
