ferry crossing

[mrsann]

Can anyone tell me the best/cheapest ferry crossing to Ireland please? We don't mind if we travel to N or S Ireland initially as we shall be visiting both.We will be travelling in a Peugeot Boxer motorhome conversion and it will be our first trip in this vehicle so any tips will be welcome.Thanks a lot

mrsann, you might want to consider joining the camping caravan club 'cos many ferry companies give fair discounts to their members.

also, i'd advise a weekend trip to test it out and find if there are any niggles to sort out before taking a big trip abroad. this is teaching your granny to suck eggs i know but it's meant in a helpfull way.

Thanks Markja for the sound advice Agree fully about a short shakedown trip but we have towed caravans for twenty odd years (quite different I know) and my partner was a long distance lorry driver for several years
