Re: Insurance

Hi there, Ambubird..yes i do indeed have a tow bar on my Smart, however, I would definitely not advise towing the Portafold with it. I have two reasons for saying this.... Despite the Portafold towing like a dream, (and it does) we towed it to Hastings and during a Hilly part it nearly burnt out the...

Re: Insurance

Whether it's right or wrong, I just approximated the value at £1k, because I knew I'd spent 'at least' that on the caravan. I'm a little bit lapse on these things really, as we have so many vehicles to insure, I just get the best value for the lowest price, I can't afford to do it any other way....T...

Re: True value of a Portafold?

What can I say....a Morris team, very drunk, fortunately the women were quite small, except for me..lol......Poor Matilda, but she survived and goes to lots of festivals with us. We were going to keep a small folding camper that we had, as we can tow that behind our trike, but I have to say, Matilda...

Re: True value of a Portafold ?

They usually make around the £1,100 mark, for one that is up together, I have seen one go for £1,400. I've had mine for about five years now and watch the price consistently, £675 was a bargain!

Ooo doesn't sound good, unfortunately, some of these shows do tend to forget that without the exhibitors and their willingness to travel, they wouldn't have a show...had some of this myself in the past...lessons to learn :eh:
