I initially lucked-out on bids for Conformatic and an Exportmatic.  Then I bid, and got the Recordmatic and am well pleased with it. 

My OH, Barbara, who was a reluctant camper and an even more reluctant caravaner actually adores the Rapido!  We just love driving into the campsite as a trailertent and becoming a wooden tent to the amazement of many.  We don't do EHU so get away from the regimented rows af caravans yet have the creature comforts all erected within 15 minutes.  That includes the  Shower/toilet tent but not the porch awning.  I take my time on that after a cuppa.  I love the compactness of the Conformatic and the ability to erect it solo. 

Hi Hemulen

I can't remember the name of it at the moment and it is tucked up under the cover of the Rapido which is tucked away away at the back of the garage.  I think it was an Elizabethan but could be wrong.  I'll put a piccy in my gallery showing side panel design which allows for both windbreak and privacy when caravan door is open by replacing one of the bike trailer which, as you asked, is a folder.  It's a Creighton Binns and  dates from 1984.  Also fits in the garage with the Rapido and a working garden trailer!   

Servicing the brakes etc should be OK 'cos they do look like Morris Minor drums (but probably French) and simple enough.  I have an original service sheet (in French) for the brake system.  For brake shoes replacements there is another link on this site with some advice for supplier.

Picture of the awning now in my gallery pics.   Best I had on file as it was only used twice last year and one of the trips I forgot to take a camera.  Hope it helps.  If you copy it and then blow it up in Picture Editor you'll get a better idea. 

Incidentally, the picture was taken at the delightful 'Charity Farm' campsite near Wigan.
