I'm just about to book up for the Summer exodus, had planned on taking the Dover - Calais crossing, however all the recent publicity of people trying to get into vehicles is rather off putting.
Not normally bothered but have a less the agile unit of a large 4x4 and twin axle caravan, so not exactly nimble. Also wife and two young children on board, that I don't want traumatised.....

A few friends have been through in cars over the last few weeks and have seen the lorries getting problems, but avoided it them selves by keeping moving, not sure where caravans fit in the equation? Obviously not as easy to stow away, mind you I'm sure most caravan doors, windows or skylights would not pose much of a problem.....

Anyone done it recently? What's it like Portsmoth - Le Harve, not hearing anything adverts on other routes, just fancied the quick and cheaper crossing....

I hate towing this caravan at the best of times.....

Ended up booking Poole to Cherbourg return. Considerably more expensive, but managed to get almost 20% off via the Caravan Club.....

Anything for a stress free holiday!
