For the ultimate in stability when towing a car transporter trailer, choose a triple axle trailer as this helps to reduce the load on each axle and tows much better in a straight line.
Many small recovery vehicles are just converted flat bed vans. If you intend to buy one, make sure the conversion has been undertaken professionaly and the suspension and brakes have been upgraded appropriately.
We have just come back from a trip to Bashley in the New Forest and all my tent pegs are bent or ruined. I cannot believe that a large commercial site like this has such poor ground for awning pegs! Is there a technique, like wetting the ground that I could employ next time?...View Entire Thread
Weston-super-Mare is a seaside resort set on the banks of the Bristol Channel. The town has a very large tidal range, the low tide mark being over 1 mile out, so it is not unusual to read stories of people and even cars being stranded and caught out by the tide. There is also the danger of Mud at low tide that can trap the unwary visitor. Until the beginning of the 19th century, Weston was a small hamlet of only a few homes. Then, during the Victorian age and with the coming of a rail link from Bristol, Weston became a popular seaside resort for holiday makers, the first hotel being built in 1808. Further holiday makers came in from the mining villages of South Wales using a paddle steamer to ferry them across the Bristol Channel. A long pier was constructed so the passengers could safely disembark.
