Hello!

We have just bought one of these and I can find little about it!

A google search brought me to this site!  I wonder if any of you kind people could help me out?

We have the comfort model in Orange/brown (Well it has colour on the outside!)  I saw someone had an original brochure they had scanned.  That would be useful!  Also any advice on canvas patching, cleaning and waterproofing.

Many thanks and best wishes

Richard

Hi Richard

I have a Creighton Binns folding camper as well, not sure what model mine is but I think its from the early 80's we bought our last year and are really pleased with it, ours opens out to a total floor space of 12' x 8' all off the ground, it gets a few strange looks, with quite a few people taking a stroll around the camper to check it out. hope you enjoy yours.

Hi Colin

from the photos that you have posted in your profile

you seem to have a Creighton Binns Chalet 4

The main body has a lid that folds out on to 2 support arms giving a large living area

With 2 extra seats that can be folded down and turned into another double bed

And in the trailer body you have a bed/sofa with a kitchen and wardrobe

Ours came with a built in awning too

a great way to go camping

Hi Classic

Spot on with the description of my camper,

didn't know it was called a Chalet 4 (you learn something new every day)

don't understand why more campers aren't made this way, so much room inside!

We too are proud CREIGHTON BINNS owners we have the double top folding camper, she was a 1980's mish mash nightmare when we rescued her - but now is admired by many with new upholstery, curtains, flooring and woodwork, looks a dream now !!

Love Em

Hi, do you still have the double top?

I have been offered one but the guy doesn't have any pictures of it open. Can you send me some if you have any please?

Hi,

Is it possible to receive any details of the CREIGHTON BINNS trailer tent as we've just bought one. Can you email me any details , simr2001 at hotmail.com

thanks for the reply back

Simon

I have the smallest CB 'Comfort' which I tow behind my m/bike.   I love it and and have just fitted new indespension units and re-furbished underneath the wheel arches.   As new now.   The only thing I would change is being able to zip the 'bedroom' door.    see my gallery.

I'd love to see one or two of the bigger ones or even photos.
