Car trailers allowed on sites

Posted on 19/05/2021 10:20 by Navigateur

At a number of locations I have noticed those towing a trailer behind a motor caravan parking the trailer beside the caravan on site, and then parking the motor car on top of the trailer.  Certainly less visually intrusive for the other occupants of the site.

And emissions are so low

Does this include the extra emissions you put out when towing?

I'm honestly not knocking anyone's variation on touring but .... I can never understand why you'd tow a car on a trailer behind a motorhome. You restrict your speed on a motorway ... restrict yourself from the outside lane of the motorway and make things difficult reversing a small trailer with a large vehicle. 2 lots of road tax & insurance to have a small vehicle while on site ... I thought the idea of a motorhome was to visit as you tour ...a couple of days here & there on route.

I don't get the logic either. I wonder how many MH owners that tow a car behind them thought, at the time they bought the MH, "right, we've now got to fit a towbar and have a car small enough to tow behind us". Or is it a case of "We didn't realise until we bought our MH how restricting it is so we now need to get and tow a small car so that we can get to places".  I don't suppose anyone will confess to this. If you're towing a car why not tow a caravan which gives much more living space and transport at your destination?

Another old thread resurrected. Why is this happening? Has CT run it’s course, are the member numbers currently contributing so low that novel and new comment is few and far between?
