Hi. My wife and I are planning on arriving in UK later this year with the intention of buying a 5th wheeler (and pickup) and spending around 1 year touring. We'd be obliged if we could get answers to a few questions (though they may sound silly because we don't know the UK regulations!)
Here goes:
- can we drive these trailers with a basic car licence;
- is it as difficult to get insurance as some contributors to your and other forums would have us believe?
- do we need to be aware of different kingpin diameters (I'm learning that there are two sizes);
- can anyone recommend a particular tow vehicle (or 2) which would have adequate power and should I try to find a diesel for extra torque;
Also, any advice you can provide to us as 'newbies' would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
