Get familiar with rules around towing before your next touring holiday

Posted by

Summer might be coming to an end, but there’s still plenty of time to head out in your caravan or motorhome to enjoy what’s left of the good weather. 

Since the pandemic, staycation popularity has been growing in the UK. Motorists should be aware of towing regulations before embarking on a touring adventure to avoid penalties and fines that could ruin their vacation before it begins. 

Car leasing experts at LeaseCar.uk have researched the latest towing laws to help travellers stay prepared. Although car and trailer tests aren’t required anymore, it’s always a good idea to practice towing somewhere quiet before getting out on the road. 

With that in mind, here are some rules and considerations to be aware of before setting off. 

When did you pass your test?

Rules around towing changed in 2021 to allow more drivers to legally tow trailers without needing to pass a trailer driving test first. 

Those who passed their test before the 1st of January 1997 are not affected by any changes and can drive a vehicle and trailer combination of up to 8,250kg MAM.

If you passed your driving test from the  1st of January 1997 to 18th of January 2013, you were previously allowed to drive either:

  • A car or van weighing up to 3,500kg MAM and tow a trailer with a maximum weight of 750kg MAM (a total of 4,250kg)
  • A trailer weighing more than 750kg only if it didn’t weigh more than the unladen weight of the vehicle (3,500kg in total)

You would have had to pass a car and trailer driving test to tow anything heavier.

The rules were also the same for those with licenses issued after the 19th of January 2013.

Now, anyone who passed their driving test after the 1st of January 1997 can tow trailers weighing up to 3,500kg MAM. Be sure to check your vehicle’s handbook to find out the gross train weight (GTW).

Rules to remember

Apart from the legal requirements mentioned above, there are other rules motorists should be aware of before hitting the road with their leisure vehicle in tow. 

  • The maximum speed when towing a trailer or caravan is 60 mph on motorways and dual carriageways and 50 mph on single carriageways. 
  • Legally, the maximum width of a trailer or caravan should not exceed 2.55 metres. 
  • The maximum length of a caravan towed by a vehicle weighing up to 3,500kg is 7 metres
  • To prevent blind spots, it is a legal requirement to install towing mirrors if the trailer is wider than the vehicle. 
  • The vehicle and trailer or caravan must display the same number plate. 

Failure to follow these laws can result in hefty fines of up to £2500 and three points on the driver’s licence – which is enough to put a dampener on anyone’s end-of-summer holiday.

Check out the new Adria Supersonic at the Motorhome & Caravan Show

Posted by

Adria’s new A-class motorhome will be on display at the NEC in Birmingham this October.

The Supersonic, which is powered by Mercedes Benz, is to be among the most exciting things to see at the Motorhome & Caravan Show 2022.

Designed with an aesthetic more commonly seen on a luxury yacht, the Supersonic represents the best in performance and innovation.

It will be just one of the latest leisure vehicles that will be exhibited at the show, which runs from October 18th to 23rd.

Whether you’re in the market for a new motorhome, caravan, campervan, tent or other activities, this is your opportunity to check out next season’s releases.

You’ll have the chance to talk to representatives from all the biggest manufacturers about what makes their products stand out from the crowd.

Chat to Elddis, Swift, Coachman or Bailey, as well as Westfalia, Auto-Trail and Buccaneer.

There’ll be free expert-led tutorials on towing and manoeuvring skills, which is a good idea if you’re new to driving with a caravan attached to your car.

They can even be useful for experienced towers looking to improve their technique.

Many exhibitors offer show-only discounts and there’s a wide selection of competitions to enter, meaning you could be sporting some state-of-the-art kit on your next caravan trip.

If you’re in need of inspiration about where to pitch up, then tourism organisations and holiday park reps will also be in attendance.

As well as people from destinations across Europe to talk to, there’ll be overall camping clubs and guides who can offer impartial advice.

Tickets to the Motorhome & Caravan Show cost £12 and are only available online. Children under the age of 15 get in for free, but still require a ticket.

To fully embrace the leisure vehicle lifestyle, camp at one of the sites not far from the NEC.

Time for your motorhome’s MOT? Don’t forget these unusual checks

Posted by

Taking your motorhome for its annual MOT isn’t as straightforward as ensuring your brakes and fuel system, lights, mirrors, exhaust and other obvious components are in working order. 

The team of motoring experts at LeaseCar.uk has put together a list of less common checks drivers should be aware of to ensure their vehicle passes the test.

If it’s time to take your leisure vehicle to the garage, take note of these tips to guarantee it doesn’t fail its MOT on minor issues like having a faulty number plate or your washer fluid levels being depleted. 

Number plate lights

To pass its MOT, your motorhome or other type of vehicle must have fully functioning licence plate lights. This is so that police and other road users can easily identify your vehicle in low-light conditions. Make sure to check this to avoid a fixed penalty fine.

Frayed seat belts

Like other elements of your vehicle, it’s common for safety belts to become worn down and frayed over time. It’s important to ensure seat belts are in good condition, that they click in properly and can’t be pulled out easily to guarantee a pass. 

Ensure washer fluid levels are satisfactory

This check is often forgotten when taking a vehicle for its MOT. Be sure to check the amount of screenwash in the car, as having levels that are too low can lead to failure. This can be fixed simply by purchasing a screen wash solution and filling it up. 

Reversing lights

Since 2018, vehicles must have working reversing lights to avoid a failed MOT. Be sure to test the bulbs on your vehicle before dropping it off at the test centre. 

Check your fuel cap

Be sure to check the condition of your fuel cap. If it won’t seal or you get a strong smell of petrol, it could mean the cap is worn out and might need to be replaced. 

Remove the air freshener

It might seem a little strange, but there is a good reason to remove the air freshener before taking your motorhome for its MOT. 

Many people hang an air freshener from their rear-view mirror to keep the car smelling nice. However, they can technically obstruct the driver’s vision which can lead to a failed test. It’s better to be safe than sorry, so simply remove the air freshener before dropping your vehicle off. 

Cracks on the number plate

Another minor detail that often goes unnoticed is cracks on the number plate. If any letters are covered by cracks it can be the difference between a pass and a fail.

Dream destinations: Brecon Beacons

Posted by

The Brecon Beacons National Park, situated in the heart of the Welsh countryside, is home to mountains, castles, moorland, waterfalls and plenty of wildlife. The region has been named a Dark Skies Reserve (making it ideal for a spot of stargazing) and a UNESCO Global Geopark.  

Covering 520 square miles, the national park comprises three distinct areas: The Brecon Beacons, the Black Mountains and the Fforest Fawr. 

There’s plenty to enjoy in this stunning part of the world. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing staycation spot to explore in a caravan or you want to pitch up at one of the best camping destinations in the UK – the Brecon Beacons has a lot to offer. 

Best walks in the Brecon Beacons

This stunning hiking destination offers routes with incredible mountain views for varying fitness levels. 

Pen y Fan is one of the most popular mountains to visit in Wales, making it one of the best but most crowded walks in the Brecon Beacons. We recommend the Pen y Fan horseshoe route, which offers a quieter and wilder hiking experience than the more trodden Pont ar Daf route. 

The ascent to Sugar Loaf Mountain (sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, right?) is another must-do hiking route. The five-mile route is suitable for all fitness levels and makes a great day out. 

Another fantastic option is the Llanthony and Hatterall Ridge route, which spans a moderate 4.5 miles. Enjoy breathtaking views and be sure to pack a picnic lunch to enjoy under the ruins of Llanthony Priory. 

Other activities 

Adrenaline junkies will feel right at home in the Brecon Beacons. There are plenty of activities to try out if you’re feeling adventurous, including horse riding, wild swimming,  cycling and watersports such as paddle boarding and kayaking. 

For the more daring explorers out there, this area is home to some of the best cave systems in Europe, which can be visited with an experienced guide. 

If you’d rather admire this area’s breathtaking natural beauty from afar, there are plenty of charming villages and quaint towns to explore. 

Literature lovers from around the world flock to the tiny town of Hay-on-Wye, affectionately known as the “Town of Books” where there are 20 bookshops to discover (there’s even one in the castle) and a great selection of pubs and eateries selling traditional fare and pints to see you through the day. 

Brecon, a market town situated on the edge of the National Park, is another great spot for an afternoon stroll and a pint to finish off the day. Other towns worth visiting include Crickhowell, Talgarth and Sennybridge. 

If you’re interested in the history of this region, pay a visit to Carreg Cennen Castle and Farm which dates back to the 13th century. Other must-see historical attractions include the Fourteen Locks Canal Centre, the Brecon Mountain Railway, and the Big Pit National Coal Museum. 

Best spots to pitch up in the Brecon Beacons

Because of its popularity with outdoor enthusiasts, there are plenty of spots to pitch a tent or park your caravan for the night in and around the Brecon Beacons. 

The obvious choice is the Brecon Beacons Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite. Other great locations include Pencelli Castle Caravan & Camping Park and Priory Mill Farm, a 16th-century farm-come-campsite. 

You can also enjoy wild camping (legally) at Brecon Beacons Wild Camping or opt for more luxury accommodation at Aber Glamping.

Road trip the world without leaving the UK

Posted by

Planning a road trip to mark the end of summer? It turns out you don’t have to leave the UK to visit some of the world’s most famous international destinations (kind of). 

Many Brits are opting for UK-based staycations or caravanning or camping adventures due to airport chaos and cancellations. 

To help make choosing a destination easier (and a little more exotic), the team at LeaseElectricCar.co.uk have identified some must-see British locations that share their name with international hotspots. 

Of course, don’t expect these locations to bear any resemblance to their international counterparts beyond their name. However, they are still definitely worth a visit and offer a change of scenery from other popular UK holiday destinations.  

From Barcelona in Cornwall to Columbia in Tyne and Wear, why not make an international road trip the theme of your next touring adventure? 

Here are seven UK destinations with international counterparts. 

Moscow, Ayrshire

Sharing its name with Russia’s largest city, it’s been suggested that this Scottish hamlet got its name due to the prisoners and refugees that lived there during the Crimean War. 

Combine a visit to Moscow with a road trip around Scotland, and don’t forget to check out some of the delightful beaches around the coast. 

Barcelona, Cornwall

Nothing like the vibrant and lively cosmopolitan city in Spain, Cornwall’s Barcelona got its name due to a Spanish native who saved a famous resident from a shipwreck disaster in the 1800s. 

As one of the most picturesque counties in the UK, a trip to Barcelona is easily paired with a road trip along the Cornish coast. 

Egypt, Bradford 

Located in West Yorkshire, just a short distance from its North African counterpart, Egypt is thought to have been named in commemoration of Napoleon’s 18th-century invasion of its namesake. 

Although there’s not much to see in this tiny hamlet, the Yorkshire Dales is an area of outstanding beauty.

Florence, Staffordshire

Although you’ll find no Renaissance masterpieces here, Florence is a charming suburb that’s well worth the visit. 

However, it lies near the Peak District, which offers quite another kind of beauty. 

Combine your visit with some hiking or even wild swimming if you’re feeling adventurous. 

Palestine, Hampshire

It doesn’t have much in common with Jerusalem, and its name remains a mystery to this day, but this charming village is worth visiting if you’re heading to the south of England.

California, Norfolk

This quaint seaside town gets its name from some 16th-century gold coins that were discovered on its shores. The lovely beach is a great spot to take the whole family. 

Columbia, Tyne and Wear

Columbia is located in the town of Washington in the north of England, which was home to George Washington’s ancestors. Other areas in England that have transatlantic connections include New York in Tyneside and Cleveland in County Durham.

New Road Life book to share campervan experiences

Posted by

A new book is set to be published next month that showcases the experiences of 35 people who have embraced the campervan lifestyle.

Road Life has been compiled by Sebastian Antonio Santabarbara and is described as “an inspirational guide to living and travelling on four wheels”.

Among those featured are talented craftsmen who’ve converted vehicles entirely from scratch and explorers who have perfected the art of travelling on a budget.

No two sets of circumstances are the same, with the stories covered as diverse as solo campervanners and families hitting the road together.

The lure of taking a step back from the trappings of modern life to embrace a simpler way of doing things that’s more in tune with nature is celebrated in the book.

Road Life demonstrates how what may seem like a dream can be turned into a reality through the eyes of those who’ve achieved it.

Author Mr Santabarbara is a seasoned traveller and expert on all things vanlife and alternative living.

He personally interviewed each of the people who contributed their stories to the book in order to get to the essence of their approach to life and travel.

As well as reading about their memorable experiences and the challenges they’ve had to overcome along the way, they’ve shared their knowledge too.

Find out which gadgets they’ve come to rely upon and the tips they’d like to share as a result of becoming seasoned vanlifers.

The contributors are made up of people from the UK, Portugal, Bulgaria, USA, Sweden, Japan, Czech Republic, Germany and Italy.

They represent a wide range of ages and some are travelling with pets, meaning there’s inspiration for people in a variety of circumstances.

Road Life will be published on September 6th in hardback, while Mr Santabarbara’s subsequent book, Van Life for Dummies, is expected later in the year.

Second place goes to Sicily, the historical island just off the boot of Italy. Home to a number of active volcanoes, Greek temples and exquisite beaches, Sicily is a must for anyone’s travel bucket list. There are pitching spots located throughout the island, so planning a route is straightforward.

“A vacation on an island provides people with the perfect opportunity for a fun adventure like scuba-diving or snorkelling, allowing them to explore the beauty of the oceans. Another great aspect of an island holiday is that due to most islands’ tropical locations, lovely weather is almost certainly guaranteed. And last but not least, booking an island trip means that people will be able to admire astonishing landscapes that can be found nowhere else, making their stay unforgettable.”

Financial considerations when buying a caravan to live in

Posted by

The average house price in the UK has increased 9.8 per cent since 2021, putting home ownership out of the reach of many young people.

As a result, static and touring caravans and motorhomes are proving popular places to live.

Now, Shane Spence of Sell The Caravan has offered advice on the things to consider before purchasing a leisure vehicle as a residence.

Create a budget

The first step in the process is to decide on a budget as this will influence the size, model and make of the caravan you’re interested in.

Think about the options surrounding deposits, financing and buying a caravan or motorhome outright to come to the best decision for your circumstances.

Mr Spence said: “There are a range of financing options available to help you buy a static caravan and spread the cost over a period of time.

“In fact, static caravan finance is a common way to purchase a holiday home. When buying a static caravan simply ask the sales representative about static caravan financing options.”

Understanding caravan finance

Caravan financing works in the same way as other loans, meaning the lump sum is paid back over a period of time, usually in monthly instalments.

There are three ways it can be arranged:

  • A personal loan
  • A secured loan
  • A hire purchase agreement

Does VAT apply to buying a caravan?

VAT will appear separately on the invoice for your caravan, but will be included in the overall purchase price.

The seller is responsible for ensuring that VAT is paid and the current standard rate is 20 per cent of the cost of the unit.

Caravan purchase protections

Caravans bought with finance come with the same rights under UK law associated with buying anything on credit.

All hire purchase agreements are fully regulated and offer additional security to buyers.

There’s no better way to relax at the end of the day than by enjoying a picturesque view while the sun goes down. You don’t have to head off to exotic places to catch spectacular sunsets, as there are plenty of locations around the UK that’ll leave you breathless. 

Researchers at LeaseCar.uk have identified the top spots in the kingdom for watching the sun go down. Why not combine your next touring adventure with a sunset view to remember?

Sandbanks, Dorset 

Situated on a small peninsula across Poole Harbour, Sandbanks is a stunning beach perfect for swimming, sunbathing and watching incredible sunsets. With plenty of family-friendly caravan parks nearby, this is a great location for a touring trip with your nearest and dearest. 

Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh 

There are plenty of reasons to make Scotland your next summer touring destination, and the sunset view from Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh is another to add to the list.

Discover the best camping destinations in Great Britain

Posted by

Camping has increased in popularity in the UK ever since Covid-19 travel restrictions caused Brits to seek out staycation destinations closer to home. 

There are many incredible locations across Great Britain to pitch up with a caravan or tent, which can make choosing where to go the most difficult part of planning a holiday. 

To simplify deciding where to go on your next holiday, the team at JetCamp have collected and analysed insights gathered from over 1,500 campsites and whittled them down to a list of the best camping destinations in Great Britain. Their choices were based on factors including average rating and popularity. 

Whether you’re seeking a cheap pitching spot for a family holiday or want to explore some of Britain’s favourite beaches, there’s a campsite to suit your needs.

Their research looked at camping destinations in England, Scotland and Wales, comparing those with a minimum of five campsites to find out which areas Brits enjoy the most.

England’s top contender was Truro in Cornwall which achieved an overall score of 9.7, also earning it the title of best overall camping destination in the whole of Great Britain. Securing second and third places were High Peak in Derbyshire and West Devon. 

Inverness snagged the chief spot for Scotland with an average rating of 9.1. In Wales, Brecon, located on the edge of the glorious Brecon Beacons National Park, took first place with an average rating of 9.4, followed closely by Caernarfon and Abergavenny, which both scored 9.2. 

Despite camping destinations in England and Wales outshining Scotland’s leading port of call Inverness, the country was rated the best overall camping location with visitors reporting the highest satisfaction levels across the board. 

England was the most visited country for camping (based on an index developed by the researchers), triumphing over Wales and Scotland to snag the top five spots according to popularity. 

However, it’s important to note that a destination’s popularity doesn’t reflect the experience that it offers. The most visited campsites and holiday parks in Great Britain were Great Yarmouth, Scarborough, Teignbridge, Newquay and East Lindsay, all of which cover large areas. 

If you’re seeking a memorable touring experience, consider looking at hidden gem campsites in some of the top destinations within each country. Particularly during the summer months, these locations mean you can escape the crowds while enjoying a more tranquil atmosphere.
