For those towing bigger caravans you could always go for one of those modern tear drop shaped campers, or a small caravan such as an Eriba Puck www.eriba.com/en/models/caravans/eriba-t...n-eriba-touring.html
Or a Gobur folding caravan for less wind resistance goburcaravans.co.uk/our-pre-owned-stock/
I’d thought of the latter myself in the past for towing behind my classic car. Very expensive though.

Not too far from me.

I not too long ago moved from Windy Nook (round the corner from the QE) and was frequently in and out the QE with work.

This probably contributed to your head gasket failing though mate!

Or it's a general consequence of 105 thousand miles. Either way I caught it early enough for the car to be still in a drivable condition. She was only immobile because of parts supply and covid19. I love my Dreadnaught!
