Hi all,
I am booking my trip for Easter to France and I am going on the channel tunnel. I have a Swift Sundance 630l and will be towing my Citroen C1 on an A frame on the back. Do I need to add I am towing a trailer or caravan when booking or do I just leave it as a camper van.
Cheers
Tich

Tich,

You need to book as though you are towing a trailer.

Goes down as a trailer (at least that's how I portray it on the ferry).

If there's two of you to drive, worth checking what the price would be for the van/car independently....obviously would mean you're in different carriages, but may work out cheaper.

Don't forget - Tesco Vouchers.
If you shop there, it will save pounds on the crossing Very Happy

They always ask if you have a trailer - dunno if it is more expensive. Just paid £18 for an Easter trip thanks to Tesco vouchers

Hi

You need to declare a trailer when booking and the price will double - based on my own experiences.

Possibly cheaper - as suggested - to split the unit and make two separate reservations - one for the car and the other for the motorhome.

How does one get a voucher for the tunnel crossings? Are they available in any Tesco?

You use the clubcard deals. Clubcard points should never be used for discount in Tesco.

Yes, has to be declared as a trailer.

Bit daft realy because if you have a 38foot RV you get charged less than a 24 foot camper and 12foot trailer.

Just watch the prices!

And we always use Tesco Deals.
