Hi R&A,
we thank you for your kind welcome, and we are looking forward to participating in this vibrant forum.
We are in the process of buying a1999 Triton, standard except for a 'Reich' mover, which is essential on our narrow lane for safety. Although having towed vans since sixties, it is a 600metre reverse up my lane to be able to park on my property, not great for clutches or torque converters as it is half way steep up followed by a steeper down. We tow with a 2011 1.6tdi VW Caddy or a 2002 Mercedes ML 270 in the winter. We will be as usual looking to upgrade the interior electric, and gas to latest standards, however we always are sympathetic to the original style of the vehicle.
We live in Basse Normandie and will probably tour in Brittany and the Loire, while we get used to the van.
Regards P & J
