Hi, I am going to be using the Plymouth to Santander ferry for a two week return trip in mid September.
Firstly I want to purchase or rent a trailer to pull behind our 7.5m motorhome, preferably twin axle.
Does anyone have one that I could hire for say 3 weeks?
Secondly does anyone have a discount code for the ferry please?
Look forward to your replies
Pete.

I seem to recall that trailers and caravans now need to be registered, and possibly insured?, for use in the EU. I cannot recall more detail, but it might be prudent to do a search on this forum or wildcamping.co.uk
Perhaps another member will have better recall or knowledge than I can offer.

I was looking this up the other day.
"You must register commercial trailers over 750kg gross weight and all trailers over 3,500kg gross weight before towing them through some European countries." https://www.gov.uk/guidance/trailer-registration

PM sent.

ooh, is that post Brexit ?

Ahh, commercial only. So usual rules apply, if UK registered camper and UK trailer for non Commercial purposes. Don't know how commercial is defined.

Is this a car transporter trailer or just a normal 2 axle trailer for camping gear

With a 7.5 MH an a twin axle trailer I'd look to joining the B/F Travel Club cause that crossings not going to be cheap and as a member you'll get 30% discount + other incentives while using someone else's code only gives 10%

Thanks for the tip. It is however a one off trip with the trailer, to get our personal possessions following a recent house sale in southern Spain.
