Holeydub,

I looked into that time too but thought I'd take my Allstate trailer for the ride but put the price up by nearly £100... Was thinking a late night Sunday train around 9pm or to reduce costs maybe late Monday morning...

 

[marcher]

All booked see you there.

out on the Tuesday 2nd, back on Monday 8th.

enjoy

It'll decide itself based on your registration number.

Called their customer service dept this morning; very helpful and pleasant - explained although a camper, it isn't technically - it is built as a Microbus, but only seats 5. Smaller than some 4x4's. Helpful French lady assured me that the height is the only critical factor, as long as there are windows all round (so it isn't a freight vehicle).....booked me on there and then as 'car over 1.85m tall' - which I am!

Really impressed with the can-do helpful attitude from Eurotunnel helpline, first time I've used them.

 

[paul_q]

I got on the tunnel as car under 1.85, think it's some of the ferrys working on reg plate.

How much did it come to gonna book it in a couple of weeks, is everyones plan to head straight to the camping at Spa off the train or have a mid point stop?

The Drum Inn at Folkstone is about 10 mins drive from the tunnel
