The winter weather risks work both ways.And in winter the weather risk.
I would prefer to use the tunnel and risk driving through France in the bad weather, safe in the knowledge that there are plenty of places I can stop and be warm and cosy in the motorhome if things get to bad, rather than throwing up for one or two days in a winter gale on the Bay of Biscay.
Brother did the Santander crossing back a couple of weeks ago. Weather awful and the ship then had to go to aid a yacht in distress. Arrived many hours late and without any sleep. That does not sound like fun to me.
