I saw what happened to cashwowud I'm gutted for him! I'm planning on towing to the south of france next year and its worrying.
Some of these caravans are massive and i was worrying about towing a 20ft boat around the 18 was big enough sometimes. Do you tow them regularly?

My last boat the day it was collected
We had a same size Searay quite a few years ago which we used to tow down to annecy. We had a twin axle trailer as the single axles were too close to the limit. Having had a blow out we were pleased we did

Yes having towed that boat over thousand miles this year. I sold it Sunday and I have ordered a double axle for the next boat because of the weight and safety. Looking forward to towing it.Current Vw Amarok
