-Creighton-Binns, a name from the Sixties, when trailer tents enjoyed something of a heyday (thanks, partly, to Barry Bucknall and his 'Mirror' trailer tent - D.I.Y plans published by Mirror Newspapers) The model you have is probably called the 'Double Top' - it was Creighton's biggest (in relative terms!) seller. Like other weird and wonderful designs of that period ('Campavan', for example) they have long since ceased production - a demise hastened by Sam Alpen (sp?) and his affordable range of 'Sprite' caravans. -C.B did, actually, produce a handful of models into the early 70's - by that time they were also doing a folding camper (I seem to remember that the name was 'Gold', something...) , designed to rival the Conway Cruiser. They always were at the more expensive end of the market - which, of course, is reflected in the overall quality. Your best bet is to make enquiries with the Trailer Tent Section of the Camping & Caravanning Club - someone there will have Chapter and Verse on every detail of every C.B ever made! www.trailertent.fsnet.co.uk
Just got this off google but it is a reply to your question already on another board I put it up in case you have missed it hope some one can help you

Hi Jude
If you send your list of questions to me again and i'll send you the stuff that you'll need for your Binns
your camper is a 6 berth , 2 beds at each end and the dinning area converts into another 2 berths by using the dinning table a second table and the cushions rearranged
it has a built in kitchen (2 burner stove with grill + sink&drainer)
most had a foot pump for water
most came with an porch awning (ours has one) I think that yours has a full one which is rare
the extra boards that you found should fit into some slots that are in the ends of the beds
(they stop your head or feet going through the canvas when your in bed)
I think that we may set up up a web site for these very clever folding campers
were not sure what we'll be doing with our Binns as we may be downsizing to a Combi camp (Citroen 2cv Towcar)
it would make a very good project and would make an excellent camper for a family
