If anyone is interested , I see that caseys of Chester have a 2007 Dandy for £2000. Not my cup of tea, but I know there are fans.

We have always owned a tent and thought long and hard about a TT. But having bought our camplet (brand new) I would never go back to a tent even if health allowed.

:) lol sorry didn't mean to and hope I haven't offended any tent owners by saying 'upgrade' :)

Anyway, paid the deposit today!!! so it'll be ours in 2 weeks.  Bought from Grosvenor Garden Centre, is that Caseys? Well its a 2006 Cabanon Stratos, with a sun canopy/large box for front of trailer/few bits and pieces......... £1995 seemed a fair deal, 2008 model with the extras would have been an extra 1400, so really the 2006 model will do us!

Now the fun really begins.......... we haven't got a thing to get us started, any advice or useful tips would be welcomed.... about kitchen/cooker, toilet tent?, sleeping bags or quilts?, suppose will need power supply, heater, and a load more and won't find out until our first trip I expect.  We didnt opt for seat backs because thought they were expensive........... do you manage without?

When camping do you pay the same as a caravan on a pitch?

thanks everyone

We hadn't had a holiday in over 3 years and had to make a decision. Mot have any more holidays or find an alternative to a tent.

Decided to go for a TT and went to Don Valley (nearest to us) and looked at a few and wasn't sure (am very overweight and thought they looked a little scary  for someone my size sleeping on two very small poles holding that weight - salesman said they would be safe but he couldn't convince me). Anyway we decided that before we comitted to anything we would go further a field and found Camperlands (eventually - not the easiest place to find lol).

Trouble is once we saw the Camplet that was it nothing else would do and I liked the fact it was put up so quickly and easily by just one person. We had already decided that teh only way we could aford a sond hand TT was to borrow on the mortgage but int he end we borrowed more and got it.

Only been out once due to the bent pole saga last year but hopefully soonwe will be away every other weekend in it I can't wait
