We purchased a channel tunnel frequent travellers deal of 10 single tickets for £390 this is for a car but you then pay a £9 supplement to take motorhome so works out much cheaper than standard booking.
Last trip left 5.20pm wednesday coming back easter monday 1.10pm cost £96

We've booked three trips this year all at £122 return for a 7.4m long M/H. The simple trick is to book early, at least 2 months before you go. It seems that is the cheapest fare for our van (£61 each way) which I think is damm good. I must say the 10 ticket scheme is even better though!

Hi
Russell

Nick and Bill - glad the van still gets to go to Italy. I am going on Friday. Are you looking for sites with a beach at Lake Garda, or as in a beach by the sea?


By the sea Russel, we already know a few on the Lake. Mind, any suggestions always welcome.

Nick.

Hello,

Booked recently with Eurotunnel.

Retrun was £169. We had £165 in Tesco Vouchers, when asked did I want to pay by cheque or debit card I said cheque.

Sent cheque, it was sent back saying I had sent enough vouchers. Checked Eurotunnel site and it had gone down to £164.

Few days later outward had gone to £158 and a few days more and it was back at £82.

I would suggest if booking Eurotunnel you plan ahead and book as early as possible as you can get it from £44 each way!.

Trev.

We found Sea France to be the cheapest for July August this year. We got a £38 out at 22:10 and £42 back for a day sailing at 10:00. I think that is good for a 7m van in the busy period, so we booked it up.

Just waiting for our first trip abroad now.....


Richard....

Only place I know well is Lido di Jesolo. I have also been to Rimini once - can't remember a thing about it!

I wonder if there are any decent campsites on the west - La Spezia etc etc.
