We were back in France again, to collect a large 5th wheel and tow it to the Alicante area of Spain. Another uneventful trip, which is how we like them! A round trip of 1500 miles (2400km)
The mighty F350 performed awesomely, towing the 7000kg trailer over the Pyrenees without even slowing down. The trip took us from Limoges, via Bordeaux, into Northern Spain, San Sebastian, Pamplona, Zaragoza, Valencia and finally Alicante. There are very few tolls in Spain on this route, three small ones, which are actually cheaper for dual rear wheel vehicles, than for cars. Two at €1.25 and the last at €2.95. Not bad for a 16m combination, weighing in a 12 tonnes. The final toll takes you into Zaragoza but can be avoided by using roads, which incidentally are town and traffic free and mostly dead straight for miles...
