IMG_20200922_123052430_HDR[1].jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)We had our first proper tow today, we went up to John E's, he is doing some work on her. We met John and his lovely wife....at a distance, very nice couple.

I have to say, I almost forget we were towing this lovely caravan, it seems to cut through the air.
I used to notice how dirty air from car transporter trucks would upset our old Lunar Lexon, you could feel the caravan almost buffer.
Not so with our Erica, there was no effect at all, so stable. And much better on fuel.
We stopped at the M6 services in the caravan parking area, so I took a photo.

Good to hear this John. Like you, our last van was a Lunar Whopper. With a petrol Saab towing I managed 12mpg. Could almost see the fuel gauge going down.
With Volvo and Eriba it's about 40 mpg and as you say very stable.


Thought for the day - hmmm......

I'm not suprised you almost forgot it. Is that big 4wd a Nissan Terrano?
