Hi

I'm currently planning a two week camping trip to France for next year.  We are considering purchasing a trailer tent to replace our normal tent for the added convenience and comfort.  However, we don't really have the funds for it and it occurred to me that if we could hire one in France, near one of the northern ports, we would avoid the purchase costs and get a cheaper/more flexible ferry crossing.  My google search has been unproductive.  Does anyone know of any companies that provide this service?

Thanks in advance.

Wayne

Hi and welcome to the site I've never heard of anyone doing this but I know what you mean - would be a good idea - however I suppose hiring out a tt and checking all the bits n pieces plus showing how it goes up etc would be difficult - saying that I know sites in Denmark hire Combi-camp ttents but its a bit of a trek to Denmark unless you got a cheap ferry from Newcastle way - gorgeous beaches though?? Don't forget you can use Tesco vouchers towards some ferry companies and the Tunnel crossings which would help a bit??

How about using the pre erected tents on sites, save all the hassle of hiring one. Plus they would have all the equipment, all you would need to take is your bedding.

Ferry fare apart, you`d probably be considerably cheaper buying an older trailer tent than hiring one for two weeks.

And if you have the storage space, now is a fantastic time to be buying second hand. I`ve been watching beautiful early 90`s Conways going for three or four hundred pounds on Ebay, with extras like sun canopies and front boxes included. Same TT would be going for over a thousand if it was May or June.
