Access to sites with twin axle ?

Obviously you've got your van now, but a quick note about twin axles - IMO no problem in the UK but be aware that in France there are many sites on which they are banned, this is normally nothing to do with twin axles but an attempt to keep 'travellers' out. 

Best to contact the site before arrival as many will allow twins on when they know you're from the UK.

Also ask what they will charge you.  Some will take you but charge double or triple their normal rate.

Always fancied a twin axle, I am sure they tow very well.

Two things put me off, the situation in France where we tour most years and the difficulty in fitting the insurance required 2 Alko wheel Locks. I watched a chap having to use a trolley jack to get the wheel off the ground to line it up. Wow, not for me!

Lock 'n' Level is the answer , but like most things in life, it has a cost implication.  

Interesting, Not seen that before.

I just wonder about the longevity of it. It would need to be permanently under the 'van on the driveway.

Thanks for that.

As I don’t suppose you have need to level the van across its axles when parked up, so the device would be left deflated, bearing no load as such and thereby needing no attention until you need to remove the wheel locks. The materials used are very robust and durable.

If you take a look you will find a thread on this product on CT.    

For those driving longer caravans please be aware of the back end swing.  I watched a speeding van on site missing one waiting to pitch by a hairs breadth with his back corner.  I am glad to say the warden caught up with him!  And I was ablble to tell the waiting one I had seen the daylight between - just!
