Hi paradise

Difficult to see the colour - would be interested to see it in the flesh!

Hi paradise

I think the colour looks more like ours (Stratos). Don't know whether you have seen it but there is a Stratos on Ebay at the moment based in Chester. We got ours second hand (2 weeks old, they had used it for 2 nights). We had always said we wouldn't do this but it was in Manchester so close enough to go and have a look and just walk away if no good. We ended up getting a real bargain they had literally gone out and bought everything you would need (even down to toilet rolls!). They had never been camping before and hated it! We saved over £1000  

We also visited the NEC on Friday intending to buy a Stratos, but was told now without the kitchen. We did buy the Mercury due to the price of £3295.00 and the 3 poles that you have to contend with to put it up.

We did look at the Raclet but noticed the extra poles that came from the trailer. The trailer part looked very odd being square compared to the awning being domed.

Cabanon has designed the Stratos, Mercury & Neptune for easy erecting with wind straps attached to sides & front, this is what we need due to back problems. Erecting time 30mins to an hour, great more drinking time.

Relating to the colour's I thought is was quite classie 2 tone brown with black paneling.

Anyway at the end of the day it's up to the individual/s, we liked it, we brought it, we collect it soon. After losing our Atlantis last year to winds (gale force) and only owning it for 3 months i'm so excited and cant wait to collect our new one. Dawlish he we come.
