BAZ Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 We have decided that after many years being happy campers, that we are too far gone now, (could have more than one meaning!) to be able to chuck a big and stroppy tent up and back down. So we have decided to get a trailer tent, which from what we have seen, is not as hard work as pitching a tent, and has more comfortable accommodation. The beds in particular, as Krys struggles to get off the floor. We had a look in Robbie's one over the weekend, and that would do us fine. So tomorrow we have a chap coming to fit a tow bar, £140 all in which is very reasonable, and we are now looking for new premises. We are now looking forward to EMS1 even more.

Guest Eddy Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I believe Cazz and Wayne have a trailer sent up for sale if you are after one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Type-R Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Nice one Martyn, it's best to be comfortable on a night, otherwise, where is the fun if you have a bad back the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 How about a compromise? Check out teardrop caravans. I really want the teardrop turtle 1500. Pricey but all you need In a nice compact package. http://teardroptrailers.co.uk/1500.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I know exactly how Krys feels. I think it's a wonderful idea, as you say much more like home. Just looked at the Turtle 1500, I want one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 I don't have any golf bats Phil! Sorry on the awning, and tent, already bagged by son No2. Keep your eye open at Yeoman's, that's where we got ours from for £30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazz Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 A reasonable phone signal at last!!! The trailer tent we had a Kelling is a Dandy, the best one we've owned ever. It has an insulated roof, is wind proof and can be packed away wet because it's made of PVC. It also never ever needs water proofing and won't tear. The one we have for sale is a Combi-Camp, which is made of canvas and much cooler. Although we're now thinking of keeping it and selling just the awning as the trailer tent makes a good quick room, ideal for Belper. ;-) You're more than welcome to view either for ideas, either at our house or a meet. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi Cazz, we have our eye on a couple, and might have a look at one on Sunday. We just need somewhere to store it, so we will be meithering local farmers. Krys is getting all excited now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazz Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Good luck with the viewing's, it is very exciting, it's like looking at new scopes. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslar Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've always hankered for a trailer tent I've seen a few and they give the best of both worlds. Good luck with your search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
