    FRANCE TRIP

    Arrived in Airvault in middle of France yesterday (Sunday), D3 pulled like a real dream, veh computer registered 21.5 mpg. Considering size of outfitt really happy if true. Smile. Kept at 90 kph, as legal speed limit with set up, sometimes went a little over due to cruse control Laughing The hook up seemed to develop a strang high pitch squeak, inital thought is contamination of the stabliser system, caravan was in workshop prior to trip! Confused All in all, an uneventfull trip over. Now looking forward to touring around the area to see the sites. Filled up at local suppermarket, not much difference in price (1.28 euros) Sad Weather is good too 8)

    My Elddis Crusader is creaking very badly when hooked up. It didn't used to do it, now every movement is accompanied by a loud creaking noise. Evil or Very Mad

    Contaminated friction pads in the stabilizer. A bit of fine Emery should sort the creaking.

    just got home rom France, 800 miles of towing. Deisel was fractionally cheaper (approx £1.20 ltr) at the supermarkets in the Vendee. D3 towed like a dream. MPG was slightly better than last outing to Cornwall, at approx 19.9 instead of 17!

    happy days.

    Not many D3 spotted over there this year - ferry was half empty.

    We got back from the Vendee on Monday evening in our D3! We spotted a few and they were all British. I wasn't brave enough to take the caravan as we only bought it on the 23rd July and it's our first.

    Out of interest, when towing in the UK I switch the auto to manual and don't use cruise control - computer says 28.4mpg?

    Tab, Jon.
