Tow cars. Why????
Can I please ask for enlightenment. I cannot understand why MH'ers tow a small car behind them. Why two vehicles with engines, MOT, insurance and tax when one engine etc and a caravan provides the same freedom to drive around. No offence intended.
i assume the majority of us have a car for everyday use.....which will be taxed, insured and MOT'd
then in the same vane as above, why have a motorhome ?
unless you use it as day to day transport its a sinkhole for money.
if you use it every weekend then its still a sinkhole for money.
used it every weekend and its still stood idle for 261 days out of 365.....thats over 70% of the time
it needs tax, insurance and MOT whether its used or not.
so thats 70% of your hard earned cash doing nowt but keeping the sun and rain off the ground.
i was going somewhere with this thread but i'v had a senior moment and forgot where. oh::Blush: and as i spent ages typing it i aint deleting it.
Edit: just remembered...oh:
so, with stats like that wheres the problem having a car in tow when it would be used daily anyway...which is a lot more than the motorhome for most folks.
