Hi guys,

I want to take tusc to France,and use the Euro tunnel. I`m just a bit worried, knowing how tight the initial entry turning circles are (been before using eurobox), that I`m goin get the Tusc round them without a twenty point turn. Anyone been, if so any issues.

Cheers

I have taken my previous Tuscan & latest Tuscan S on the Eurotunnel many times & have had no problem with the limited steering lock, you just have to take your time & insist on going on the lower level. Alternatively check your self in as a high vehicle >1.85M and the carriages for them are much bigger & even easier to get on/off.

Live 20 minutes from Tunnel and have taken my Tuscan through numerous times.
The staff always direct me to the lower level - no probs whatsoever.
Just one tip about driving in France - outside of the large towns, most petrol stations are closed on Sundays and are credit card only. The problem is the card readers only recognise French cards so fill up Saturday.
Have a great time - the French love Tuscansbow - you will always have a crowd around it

just one word of caution when you come back to the UK and exit the train you will drive up and across the top and then come down the ramp towards the petrol station be careful there is one very big dip and you ground out big time many of us had this problem.
