Hello,
I've just taken delivery of my brand new Xtr and love it. We have already planned a trip to the South of France at the end of July and organised this to travel in my previous car. We are travelling to France on a P&o ferry and returning on the Channel Tunnel.
Since taking delivery of our Berlingo I have discovered that the height of the vehicle is 1.867m but the height restriction on the channel tunnel is 1.85m and, even worse, 1.8m on the ferry we have booked.
Is it worth just arriving on the day and hoping that there is a margin of error or should I risk upgrading my bookings to a larger sized vehicle?
Has anybody had experience of either of these methods of crossing the channel in a new Xtr and if so, we're you ok?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
