van to the TT

[Shawthing]

A friend has booked a van for us on the steam packet.

He just emailed a copy of the invoice to me and it says

1 Van. L: 5.0 m W:1.0m H:2.5m

Now I would expect any dimensions to be Maximums but whoever has a 1m wide Van!

Steam packet site only seems to talk about length and height and doesnt seem to match.

Anyone shed any light on this?

Is it a bedford rascal?

[andrewsmith]

They check measure at the docks

[Wideboy]

are you sure he hasn't booked a trailer by mistake?

Hi

You'll probably find that height and length are what they are booked on and the 1 is just nominal figure.

I've been over loads and never been asked about width.

Cheers Stuart

Mercedes van , booked over the phone by his good lady.
I'd like to see a 5 m long Bedford rascal!

Time will tell I suppose!

[Spank86]

Stretch rascal?

:P

[craig dow]

what did it cost togo over with the van ?

[Shawthing]

Think it was about £480 for two of us in the Van. Which was cheaper than two bikes separatly and we can take loads of equipment /food etc with us as well as the bikes.

that's not bad at all , sure you could find some where to park up and sleep in back of van saving you the cost of b&b or camp site , have fun and enjoy
