Does bringing a trailer cause a problem? Also do the tent spaces have electrical availability :-\
What size trailer? I believe all pitches have hook-ups available, esp in the family field, although somethings in some areas, we have to feed from adjacent unit due to lack of outlets.

Are you thinking a trailer you tow behind a car, or something that you need a better licence for? ;D

Car sized, unless the numbers come up, in which case it would be rude not to bring a workshop along ;D

tbh, it might be worth a flash in the GDA as I rarely look in here and had no idea about the Newent until your PM :y

Would the ramps on that support an Omega on the level? Guessing they're not hydraulic...

Just lift and fit 'em into place on the end of the beavertail, Al.

Then drive two of these up them:

How secure would they be if the car was driven onto the bed, then the ramps lifted and supported on a couple of oil drums and the car then driven back onto the ramps for chassis access :-\

You'd need to fill each 45 gallon drum with water, Al.

Then position the car so that it's front wheels were on the beavertail, and the rears immediately over the barrels. Do-able I suppose, but a bit of a ball-ache in reality ... ???

Then there's my 'fee' to factor in ... ;)
