I have noticed one potential drawback allready!

I have one caravan that is 8 feet wide and it needs to go though an 8' 6" gap from a narow lane which means reversing it at a 90 degree angle to the road. Now this is difficult enough backwards and the tyres often look like they are going to roll off the rims!

now with the bar on the nearside the car will not go through the gap after it

so it means turning orund once round he corner and putting it back on the back!

But apart from that i'm looking forward to giving it a trial tomorrow.

Looks good. off to the horse fair then Mr Plank, taking a caravan? The police are restricting
road side camping this year, they had fenced off all the grassy lay byes when I drove through a couple of weeks ago. regards bri

they have restrictions within 1.5 miles of fair hill apparently, they try every year to make things safer/ better and some of the ideas are more sucessfull than others. But overall i think the efort put in is well spent, as for these restrictions i supose we will see how well they work in the days after the fair.
