Back from Spain now, did 2300 miles.

Ran with various noseweights between 75 and 90kg, caravan was stable at any speed up to 70mph, mostly 56mph to keep pace with the trucks but overtaking sometimes it was far to easy to go too fast. Had to do one emergency stop with no drama or instability. Computer showed 25.1 mpg, not brilliant but not too bad.

Some pitching on rough roads but roads mostly very smooth, even over the minor route over the Pyrenees to Sort, so pitching not really a problem. In future I will try to run at 75kg noseweight
