After many years of using a tent, my wife and I decided that if we were to continue enjoying camping, 'upgrading' to a FC would be a necessity.
Months of my wife scouring websites and us both viewing second-hand campers, resulted in us buying a brand new Pennine Continental (2009). It has been one of the best buys we have made and I can endorse fully the comments made by Onki - except we do use our awning regularly now.
Whenever we go away, we have a 'proper' home from home and our son - who affectionately calls it the TOWDIS (Dr Who fans?) - absolutely loves it! We can't stop buying stuff to enhance our experience of using it and look forward to our New Forest trip this weekend.
