I find it fairly effortless, but I am not that confident when it comes to guessing where the corners are - I like to have an extra pair of eyes at the opposite end of the caravan as I manouver through my gates and especially as I progress past the tight corner of the house.

On the road towing, the extra size has never much bothered me - in fact I quite enjoy driving much less rushed and the knowing I can pull over almost anywhere for a cuppa on a long drive.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
