A Road Trip with the Family

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring and the old man is snoring. If the lyrics to this nursery rhyme sound like a typical car journey with your family, you have my complete empathy. In fact, the thought of my extended family squeezed into the car for an extended period of time often sends me into a cold sweat. If it were not for the reward of spending quality time with my family in a new location there is a good chance I would live the life of a hermit!

A traditional English getaway with camping equipment, sports equipment, and a wide range of board games for when the weather decides to be uncooperative has always been a personal delight. I always come back thoroughly refreshed. The only hang-up that remains is getting there comfortably; but don’t worry, I have a bit of advice for you.

Whilst you can’t control the weather or your husband’s urge to take a power nap through the entire duration of the five hour journey, there are ways to make the experience of getting to your holiday destination more enjoyable. A trick that a friend of mine taught me was to ensure all the passengers have enough space. Historically, I used to cram every foot well with waterproof clothing and activities and treated the passengers as optional extras. However, fairly recently, I bought a trailer from Indespension which has saved countless arguments over who was allowed to sit in the front passenger seat.

The Trailer I decided to buy was the Daxara 127. This was the same trailer my friend had decided to get and they helpfully pointed out a few of its advantages. Firstly, the trailer is very light which keeps fuel costs down. It also is nice and compact: a perfect match for our holiday needs. I had worried that I would struggle to manoeuvre the car with a trailer attached but it is very simple.

If you are anything like me, you will always want to go away with your family on a UK break but are scared of the logistics of getting things from A to B. This trailer has solved that problem for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend the people at Indespension. They were incredibly helpful when I was dealing with them and gave me sensible advice throughout.
