Towing on narrow roads

I wondered if people take extra caution when driving on say, narrow country roads which have trees at the side. Is there a danger that the caravan could get damaged by branches? Is it something I need to be wary of? Although I wouldn't want to drive too far out, as the risk of hitting oncoming traffic would definitely be more serious.

A quick blip of the steering towards them tends to focus their mind into moving over a bit ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„

Not with this guy. He had no idea of the width of his van or that he still had at least 2’ between him and the hedge. He had his wheels turned thus adding to his width and had no clue how to reverse. It was a pitiful display๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

That’s another that might not come back๐Ÿ˜‚ You never know, it might be a cure to SW getting too many visitors....make them take a “dealing with narrow roads and high walls” test before crossing into Devon๐Ÿ˜‚

VW camper I think even smaller than a motorhome

๐Ÿ™„ the VW camper came later ...
