Hi
Am thinking of updating from a tent to a trailer tent.Have a limited budget and have been looking on ebay at conway Camargues and racelet Heralds.What I need to know is can both of these be put up without the awning for quick overnight stops? If not any other recomendations?
Thanks

Hi no one has answered you yet so i'll see if I can help

Most Trailer Tents have there kitchen free standing outside in the awning see eBay items 300149885450 &160156014643  .Plus you have all the awning etc in the trailer part,not very practical.I would suggest Folding Camper as they can be put up in about 20 mins for a quick stay.Have a look at Pennine Fiesta eBay item 230170346841 & 110168064874. One last question how many of you are there?

Iain

Hi again ,have just looked at the pic of the Raclet Herald and although it has a extra awning section right after the sleeping compartment,it still has the 2 windowed bits after so is quite long,mine is similar in design.It has a Kitchen area that comes out on the right as you look at it from the front.I don't know how old it is but we were very comfortable and dry when we stayed in august when it rained all week.

Spent most of it in the tent watching dvds LOL.

I do think this is a bargain at £300 ,don't think you will get a better deal for the money,if I put it up at £400 it wouldn't be too expensive I'm sure.I have to sell though.

I can send you pic of the trailer if you would like it,it has a large cover which enabled us to get 3/4 full sized bikes on top under the cover and still get the cover on..It always towed well.

Moira.

that does seem like a good price.....as you've spotted ours does have the middle section which adds a surprising amount of room. in fact we had to recently pitch up and leave it out (due to lack of pitch space) and we felt quite cramped inside.
we have the raclet front box and spare wheel too......

if anyone wants more pictures of a herald just to look at, i can email some.....

Hi Dawn put it on my Profile but think if you click on the first pic of my camper it  will change to the trailer tent.Don't know quite why that happened,only I could do that,I'm not that clued up with comps.

Let me know if you can see it.

Sorry havn't got any pics of it erected ,at the moment way too busy to erect as we are having our driveway dugup tommorow.

If you look at the Raclet Tribune on ebay at the moment ,is the same colours ,similar design but flat fronted ,not hexagonal.

Very similar though.

There is a Raclet Jade on ebay at the moment ,it's grey ,different colours to mine.It has a lot of extras with it where as mine will just be the trailer tent.It's got a fair starting bid.Mine hasn't got bike racks but found it worked just as well putting bikes between the ground sheets,removing handlebars and pedals.

It dosn't look like they have a front box on thiers though,this is very usefull and they are hard to get hold of,probably worth £100 on it's own.

It just depends what you want Dawn.I did find it a good trailer tent.I liked some of the design like the windows in the sleeping part having net, Clear Plastic and canvas in 3 layers on the windows.enabling you to open each one as needed.The beds were comfortable and roomy.Inner tents I liked too with lots of sections with curtains,I used one for a toilet compartment and the other for the Kitchen.You could shut different areas off.

It has been used and isn't a perfect tent but for the money I think it would be a good buy.As long as you arn't looking for perfection.

I was very pleased with it anyway.

There is one on ebay exactly the same as mine,I think mine has had a new trailer cover as the colour is cream unlike all the others ,it's also in good condition.

This one has extras too.They don't show the awni ng up but its the same as mine ,with kitchen extension etc.

Hi again Dawn,I see a Raclet Jade has recently sold on ebay for £580,looks the same as mine although ,it looks a bit longer in the pictures but pics can be decieving.I think mine open is approx 12 ft by about 18-19 ft not absolutly sure though.

If you go advanced search/completed listings only ,you will find it.This will give you an idea as mine is more or less the same .

Moira.

dawn and dudley - why don't you meet halfway? seems like too good a price to refuse for the sake of £30 petrol....

Dawn, i have pictures of ours.....mail me on john_gill64athotmaildotcom....obviously replace the dot and at.....

they are decent sized TT's. ours stood up to the may gales and has taken an onslaught from the rain too without leaks.
