how much did it cost to get that thing onto the continent ?

Not a camper (big MPV & caravan), we’ve paid as little as £29 each way. We prefer going in/out of Dunkirk, it always seems less hassle than Calais.

We didn’t buy our ferry ticket until 3 days before we travelled when we knew we could definitely go! On the 28 July we paid £240 return for a vehicle measuring, including bike rack, 7 metres long and 2.9m tall.

The van was almost faultless and did 2,400 miles on 5 tanks of fuel at 33.6mpg. Slight immobiliser problem left us stranded until the recovery guys showed us how to reset it – which was a huge relief.

Everything inside worked perfectly and we had a great time.

Looking forward to using the vehicle in all seasons now we have one with decent insulation and a heater!
