The prices were silly, around £2700, but I managed to get a one way crossing with a cabin for £760 but I can't remember what I changed on the booking form to get the price down.
I bet you put the van as a motorhome ;)

I just tried with putting the pick up as a motor home with trailer and around £1700, the luton van as a motorhome about £1200, much better.
I notice as you are filling in the details it says goods carrying vehicles have to go as freight.
Thinking about it I was talking to a German guy who had a big luton van and he said he had it registered as a motorhome because he uses ferrys a lot, he had put a few small windows in it just to help make it look more like a motorhome.

Certainly on the French crossing a lwb van is freight but mwb not which is why I have one now.
The secret of a long life is knowing when its time to go.

(Green card) before you go it saves a lot of hassle. Don't leave Morocco via Ceuta unless you enjoy anarchy.
Did you take the right lane rather than the left lane? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the replies. Decided against this for now, running out of time and to many unanswered questions, could well end up being a very expensive mistake.

I will look for another event to do.

Thanks Lee.
