Hi all

What would be a reasonable price for an older trailer tent to try it out.  I'm up for having a trailer tent as i've used one before but OH not sure so he wants to try a cheap one before we make an expensive mistake (his words not mine)

with thanks

Dont you know anyone who has one. Maybe they'd let you use it for a weekend. That way no cash is lost if you dont like it. Mind you, once you try it, your hooked.

Have you considered a folding camper? You may eventually end up there anyway!!

I have but there are 6 of us and a dog there does not seem to be any big enough for us lot

I don't know anyone with a trailer tent so that won't be an option

Thanks for the quick replys

probably best to get around some of the campshops, and seeing how the campers are, 

,no cost involved in sitting/laying in one, and you can see what sort of things suit u

Hi ukbull

We have jut got back from our 1st camping weekend as a family (me and dh and 2 dogs stayed in Scotland for a week in the tt with the kids sleeping in a static caravan with my parents) and our tt is 4.2m x 4m.  We had 4 kids with us and 2 dogs.  We had the kitchen outside with one table in the tent part and our 2 chairs with picnic rugs on the floor for the kids to sit on or they could sit in the trailer where there is another table.  We also had a dog cage in the tent part.  The luggage was stored under the trailer and boxes of food under the table.  The kids spread themselves out so it wasn't very tidy but we all managed fine.  We are going away for weekends in it next year and a 2 week holiday and have no qualms about doing so.

I would recommend a tt to anyone.  Good Luck and let me know what tt you choose.  Maybe we will see you on site someday!

it's a raclet herald, in fact someone was selling one that didn't have the extra sections in the middle (ours has this),,,,,

read through this link, sure they wanted about £400....

Hi ukbull and easycamp,Iv'e still got my Raclet trailer tent for sale at a bargain price of £300.

I think it's a good starting tent ,very cheap but still good design and modern looking.

Canvas in good condition,all innertents included.Some good features with this tent,I do like the pockets suplied on the inner tents ,for all your bits and bobs.Even one in the sleeping compartment,which was very handy last thing at night,as I take my earings off last thing.A womans thing I think.Could also be handy for your loose change.

I did also like the windows,a small thing I know but you notice these  things upon use.I also liked the curtain designs,well made I thought.with toggels to hold in place.

Iv'e had a few awnings and the way the curtains fit etc,quite important,makes all the difference.

Comfortable beds too ,nice size,not small.I also put a blow up double bed settee in the awning ,which became a bed for a couple or 2 children at night,no need for underbed tents,I never really liked the underbed tent idea myself.

Still for sale but price may go up in the spring as I will have to take canvas off and put away for winter,a bit of work involved,will probably ask more then if this dosn't sell now.

I have had some interest but they have all been the Northern area of england and I'm in the south,don't know why this should be,it's just the way it's worked out.

By the way Easycamp,thanks for plugging my Trailer tent,I have noticed.It will sell I'm sure but maybe nows not the right time.

Hi all ,Trailer tent ,now sold.The buyer was very pleased,so I was too.

Hope I enjoy my caravan,I havn't seen it yet ,bought  blind,a bit daft I know ,just hoping seller is as honest as me.

Sold my Camper and my trailer tent,just had too much stuff,it's nice to have choices but also a bit greedy in a way.
