This is booked as a “camper”, as we normally use Stuart’s large motorhome.
It’s booked as 1 camper & 3 adults. Booking some people carrying space has always proved to be useful.

It might be possible to amend the van crossing times later (to match the bikes more closely), but it can only happen if cancellations occur and space on the boat becomes available. Or if they lay on an extra vessel.
Note – exact words from The Steam Packet Company;
“ Please find above, details of your provisional TT bookings.
Please note that above times / ports / vessels are subject to change.
TT deposits are non refundable, and full brochured fare payment is required prior to travel. An invoice with details of full fare payable will be sent at a later date”
This means, that sometimes, the IOMSPC can and will change their timetables. This has rarely affected me however. Of 44 people on my 2007 trip, only one had his ferry ticket changed – and this was actually for a more favourable crossing as it happens.
