hi folks, we sold our lovely big caravan at start of year as not using it enough, we miss the camping and family fun element of it so are thinking of spending up to £2k on a trailer tent. does anyone have any advice...must be big enough for 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. can you get them with a loo space in? what about kitchen units /fridges, what to look for / avoid? can you hitch up to electrics? do you run a small tv in yours..etc etc
many thanks!!

Hi There, you may find that if you want a fridge etc in the kitchen that a folding camper may suit your needs better.

We too went from a f/c to a lovely caravan (which like you saw little use) then to a tent and now we are back to a f/c . We looked at t/ts but wanted the cooker to be in the unit rather than in the awning, depending on what one you go for then you can still have a cassette loo but if you go for a 4 berth then youd have to put it in the awning. We are going to get a tall annex for our awning and use that for the loo and clothing storage.

Again with the electrics, if it isn't already fitted then you can use an ehu with 3 sockets , we always take a t.v and satellite with us (sad i know) and you can use this to run any other electric items the same as you would have in a van.

Hope you find something that suits you .

I have just bought a folding camper after having a few tents and the like, havent been camping in it yet so the jury is out on that, but from what i gather so far theres tons of room in it, its dead simple to set up ( i cant stop getting it out on the drive LOL..) the beds stay set up all the time so no messing with beds come night night time also there is massive awnings available and under bed add on's for extra bedrooms.

We cant wait for our first trip out in it......
