Hi all,
Wondered if anyone has any experience with the Channel Tunnel for large motorhomes? When we took our caravan, we paid normal a slightly above normal "car" price and got loaded onto the high carriage (where all the coaches go).
However, looking at the booking there is no option for "motorhome" - the closest is a camper van. Also reading the prose under "vans" it states that vans with a GTW > 4,500kg must go in freight, which is horribly expensive.
Similarly, I've heard stories, on this forum and others, about being loaded onto the coach carriage but I am unsure how to do that - do you phone them up? Will they try and push you to freight?
Our motorhome is 8.5m and >5,000kg...
