Caravan for a 101 ???

You can't tow that with a 101, they aren't equipped with Air brakes. Besides it's 2.5 tonnes, which will seriously eat into your fuel bill.

F*ck off Steve.

(Mind, it has got an awning and may look pretty good in Purple...)

Do you know thats EXACTLY what I thought, and its in your size too...

...Converts Ambi compressor system and goes to find Caravan Club 'membership webpage' with wicked evil grin on face.

Mwahahahaha

... you know it makes sense.

....just not quite as fast....

Sort of thing you usually see after a show behind a Scammell Explorer going marginally faster than a team of oxen.

hehe. Pioneer, surely?

Which is the one with a single axle driving 4 rear wheels through those bloody great gearcases?

Either, Pioneer wartime 6 x 4, Explorer postwar 6 x 6; both with walking beam back axles. Both top out at 29 ish and legal on a motorway!!! (think M11 leaving Duxford show and wondering what the hold up is)

Sean

Yes, both had it, only the Explorer was 6x6, the Pioneer had no drive to the front axle, and no brakes on it either, IIRC.

Fantastic axle articulation, thanks to the walking beam rear, and the transverse leaft spring at the front.

Alex

Yeah well twould be the exporer for me, if I win the lottery and to hell with the mile long tail back. I am not one of those who would get some modern truck to low load me scammell.

I know where there's a 6x6, or I did anyway. I always wanted to get hold of it and restore it.
