Hi All

I'm looking for peoples opinions, thoughts, experience etc on car transporter trailers. Anyone out there tow a trailer behind the motorhome with a car on? That's the advice I'm after.

I need to transport my Pug 108 to Spain behind the motorhome. I have a 2.500 kg towing limit and as the car only weighs in at under 900kgs not an issue there.

Just need thoughts on what trailer, be it single or twin axle etc, what make did you buy etc

Cheers in advance

JK

Hi JK

Funny this year I towed my car on a-frame down in April when we moved there and passed a road block on the AP7 around Valencia and the Guardia stood in line and I thought here goes 100 euros but they just wave me through and when I towed it back to sell it in November got Guardia out riders round the ring round of Zaragoza but then turned off when I turned for the campsite. Think the name was Southern Trailers and they do everything including hire but put Alton and Trailers in Google and it will find them, it was eight years ago though. Love Guardamar specially Wednesdays that's why we decided to live close by about eight miles away.

Car trailer hire costs anything upward of £175 per week. It is cheaper to hire a car at your destination.

Anywhere hire one at all? I wonder how much MH'ers would pay for one per week? Say for a 3-4 week trip £200?

Hi,

Trailer hire is mega expensive, around £200 a week and they won't like you going abroard. As peedee says it would be cheaper to hire a car at your destination, or an airport nearby.

This winter in Spain, booking in advance from Alicante airport has had various prices, the best being this month at 3.50 euros per day including full insurance.

Used a Brian James twin axle for years now, way better than towing a caravan, you just have to: a) remember it's behind you, and b) remember it's bloody long.
