And what ports did you go between? Would be very interested in what a high top would cost during the summer holiday period, as i am thinking of going next year. The ferry companies aren't posting prices for next year yet.
Thanks, Lloyd

Hi Lloydy, went to france this year by eurotunnel, v similar cost to ferry when I booked it in Jan, cost for hi top n 8ft trailer was £230. Went 10pm friday night, came back just before midday on a Sunday.

Eurotunnel dont make extra charges for hi vehicles, just need to know to manage space.

Her indoors and youngest daughter arent good sailers so the small extra costs (about £40 I reminder) was well worth the lack of drama!

Im waiting for new fares being listed so I can book again for next year. Eurotunnel again for me.

Lloydy is gassed, you can't use Eurofunnel if your vehicle uses lpg.

We went Dover> Boulogne with LD lines and that was £82 return for our 2.7mtr hightop 7th August, 2 adults, 2 kids.

Sea France via ferrycheap.com ,2 adults 1 kid under 14 , 1 Lt 28 westfalia hightop over 3m high and 5m long £60 return , the size of the van didn't make a blind bit of difference , LHD and Jibblet sailed on the same deal £40 return , 1 adult and 1 kiddie , one high top , one poptart ..

Aha, sorry yes, twas forgettin that not everyone is of the heavy oil persuasion!

Wow a lot cheaper than i thought. Had a quote for a ferry to santander, was about £1400 for this summer.
Going to france is a lot cheaper then.
Forgot about the LPG restrictions, with the tunnel.
With prices that cheap, can't see any reason not to go, thanks everyone

You cant knock £40 return can you I booked the week before and it was about £100, no limit on hight on Sea France as it goes on length (my van with the kayak on is taller than your van Lloydy). I know your only on it for just over an hour but the Sea France ferries are much nicer than Norfolk line.

I did a couple of months ago, had a bit of interest. Then the wife noticed, and off it came, should of mentioned it to her i suppose
Probably next year sometime, will be syncro time. I've only had this one 8 months.
I just need one of these fabled people who stop you in a supermarket carpark and offer you 9k [ though i would take 8 ]

She makes up for it in other ways...................



And yes i did look at the van again.

Your so weak

You seen the weather here ? THAT's the reason to go

Ian

Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but just out of sheer nosey-ness and curiosity why cant you take a vehicle on the euro tunnel if it runs on LPG? Is it to do with cabin pressure as it were?
