Access to sites with twin axle ?

Our single axle Lunar Delta is 7 meters (shipping length) & I've never had any problem accessing a CC site. Some of the CLs have been a bit close, but if you can get a bin wagon/milk tanker/etc etc on a site, a caravan will go too.

A caravan will affect fuel consumption! 

Access on most sites should not be a problem but any that are will have a warning.

I would look at your breakdown insurance though as what you quote looks like the body length and the policy almost certainly refers to the overall length which will be over the 8 m figure.

If I've picked the correct caravan it's a shade UNDER 8 meters 

Hi again should have said, yep just under 8 meters, closeeeeeee to my breakdown cov.... - Elddis Crusader Sirocco -

We have had T/A vans in the past. CC sites are OK but others might present problems with access although, generally, it's no hassle. Some sites, including CC, are sometimes restricted on the width of the on site roadways which might present problems reversing onto a pitch. This is easily overcome with a mover.

Moving from single to twin axle should not cause any problems. They do track slightly differently and as has been mentioned sharp reversing can be a little problematic but the mover is your friend. So far I've had no problems with site access.

The twin axles to tow much steadier and ride over bumps a lot smoother.

I saw no difference in mpg moving from a heavy 2 berth Coachman to a twin axle Lunar Delta.

I've not had a single axle 'van since 1983 and never had any problem with access anywhere.  Towing differences from a single axle is more to do with distance between leading axle and tow hitch than anything else.

However, a twin axle is hard to turn on the spot the way a single axle can be swung.

The only place I have ever struggled was Chatsworth where I simply had to get out and move a ill placed cone on the inside of the left hand turn, before I ran over the base of it with the van wheel (and there are not many bigger than my rig).....Althought there was a load of people waiting at the chip van and they were all watching me not being able to make it through lol!

Never a problem on CC sites.  Just ensure you fit a motor mover for the reasons described in earlier posts.

Hi,  replies have answered my questions. Will give it some thought and will let you know what we went for.

ThankYou
