Live Kombi Kreative @ The Sleepover

There will be stops, mainly for fuel though so will take a bit longer.

Looking forward to meeting you Skytiger and 'pawing' over your Kombi, but drive carefully.
I'm sure we shall all be awaiting your safe arrival on the Saturday.

We will be coming down the M6 - here is a section of the route from J19 onwards.

Previously on here there was discussion about high charges on the M6 Toll - never resolved whether the camper runs at basic car rate or at next higher rate.
The route above is only 5 minutes longer than using the M6 Toll.

We've used the Toll and paid the same as a car.

See you on the M6 South as well!

That's interesting, the details on the M6 toll site are quite specific, the vehicle class and therefore the cost is based on the height above the front axle and the number of axles.

A Kombi is clearly higher than 1.3m at the front axle and is therefore a class 4 vehicle, therefore £8.60 if between 6am and 11pm at the weekend.

At peak times the M6 toll might make a difference, but in my experience there's not much in it the rest of the time - although I don't travel that way much anymore, so it might be different now.

Maybe we just got away with it - bonus!

I really like the Toll - after the stop/start of the M6 from J28 to Brum it's nice to be able to cruise easily (and stop for a coffee at the services)

I'll be bringing my new Cobb Cooker (ordered it last night). Might even have learnt how to use it by then

Have a look on JK forum there is a thread about lighting them and different type of cobb stones. Tim

I was looking at the site for cost aswell and your lucky if you can get through as a car. I think I might put a measuring tape to it just out of interest.

Hello! I missed this thread before. Yes please! I'd like to come along to the workshops!

Great idea!

Thank you! :-)

if anybody want I have a obd2 code reader I can bring it will check engine fault codes and delete if needed

We love the Toll road but got charged the commercial rate every time we've been down (I think).

It's so much quieter and stress free down the Toll.

Sure thing - Waxoyling was already on the To Do List. Will add the Webasto.

brilliant thanks i have purchased waxoil but not been brave enough to open it yet

Really looking forward to these sessions... Waxoil & panel insulation get my vote!

Tbh the ambient temperature is too low at the moment for it to work effectively!

Oh Tim, yea have little faith!... Just wait, 80-degree temperatures are beckoning.
