not sure what your caravan is eric ,but be worth contacting the insurance before it leaves the u.k and checking that
(1) its capable of towing your van
(2) that its fitted with the right type of tow ball i.e dry alko type etc.
(3) and finally if there sending a car from u.k i presume it will be driven there ,so surely the driver can tow it back to u.k with you and jan as passengers ,or are they not capable of working that bit of logic out themselves

The assurance is with Red Pennant and they are very good.

They asked me the details of caravan weight, hitch and electrics so hopefully it will be compatible....soon find out.

There was an option to have the driver take us home. But provided I am ok to drive we felt it would be better to do it in small stages with rest days.

We also wondered about the drivers accommodation. He would have to dump us and the caravan on a site and take the vehicle to find a hotel each night.
Maybe wrong but we thought a complication too far...and not giving us total control of our situation. If we like a place we can stay a few days...we have the car till June 8th.
