Off to Cornwall this Summer so now testing range possibilities with caravan hitched up. Expecting a fair few stops to get down there with circa 1400kg extra. Anyone on here with experiences to share?

What kind of caravan is that, very funky looking! As above re Andrew Ditton for towing range. He found that a longer heavier caravan did not make much difference than his usual smaller one to range, presumably wind resistance was a big factor

thanks. It’s a TripBuddy, a rare beast and fun for that.

Thanks everybody for really useful advice and guidance. Will check up on Andrew’s vids. Much appreciated and I’ll come back to post how we get on👍

I’d be very interested in a write up of your experience! There aren’t many towing-friendly rapid chargers in the UK (drive through seems to be the norm in the US) so I guess you have to drop the caravan, charge, then re-hook…

yes am planning on having to do that. Might just do a 👍road trip report if it helps others

First trip out today to a weighbridge so I can do the sums and figure out what to take and what can be left behind. Only covered about 40 miles, with some hgv slipstreaming and otherwise 50 to 60mph on A roads. the miles per kWh was averaging 2.5, which gives some hope for the trek to Cornwall. Next will aim to do a circa 100 mile drive out and see what we get. Note to self - get new number plate for the 🍊 only remembered on the M1 that it still had the old plate on🤣

Never seen a caravan quite like that,

We did look at a Tab, they are a great design, but we wanted a full oven, hob, sink and fridge set up, which the Tab was just a tad too small for.
