Due to pick up a second hand PHEV in two days, we are embarking on a holiday to France in two weeks on a ferry towing a trailer (Ifor Williams BV64e, 200kg unladen, 500kg max)
I am now managing to worry myself that I might run into difficulty, I know I should have researched all this beforehand but there seem to be plenty of reports of people managing to tow stuff just fine and the stories where they struggle it seems to be with 1400+kg caravans.
Anyway, if I get into a situation where I can't charge on a campsite overnight, will I even be able to set off towing my trailer? I am assuming I might need to stop at some Aires for a recharge, do many of them have chargers?
What is the typical sort of connector I will need at French charging points? I keep hearing about commando connectors, do I need a commando -> T2 so I can plug my T2->T1 cable into it?
Thanks!
