Now that's what I call a hangover... And you'll need a bit more than an Alka Seltzer to deal with it too! Fortunately there's no shortage of skill and professional experience within the elite band of Britain's mobile home and caravan transporters who are featured in this week's Commercial Motor in a sector report by Dave Young (who also supplied Biglorryblog with this picture) . Dave tells me: "Hull-based Burstwick Freight services squeezes three motor caravans onto a Mercedes drawbar rig thanks to (legal) rear deck extensions. Almost the whole of the 'van (which has no mean rear overhang itself) is behind the rear trailer axle."

And just to prove it here's this week's cover featuring fellow caravan transporter Beamish..now click through here for car-moving memories from Dave...

Dave goes on to say: "I remembers such loads from my days as a car transporter driver. Turning sharp right at traffic lights is a nightmare. You daren't shift until the nearside lane is empty for fear of swiping a car---even if the way ahead is clear, but most other drivers can't understand why you're not moving. Full and frank exchanges of views frequently result...!"
