Will it float? (1 Viewer)

[topbrief]

Hi All,

Still new to all this so forgive me.

I'm in the midst of planning my family holiday.

We are renting a Burstner Elegance from the lovely people at Harrogate Motorhomes. It's plainly a great vehicle but it is absolutely maaaahooosive! [8.21m long and 2.79m high]. It also weighs-in at a respectable 5 tonnes!

I've plugged in the details to a few ferry websites and they seem to want £300 for a single trip across the channel and about double (just less) for a return. Brittany ferries were quoting this much from Cherbourg to Poole but then also advising that they didn't take vehicles this long or heavy.

The tunnel looks decidedly cheaper (£170 return).

Does this all sound right? Am I missing something?

Any tips would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Chris - Leeds

That seems awful expensive Chris. l have just put the details of my Winnebago (9.7m long and over 3m high) into DFDS for a Dover Calais sailing in june, and it came out at £148 return. Try again Chris.

Ferry price is very much dependent on how long the crossing is. Cheapest is shortest i.e. Dover-Calais or Dunkirk.
