We have a similar experience to ba.roberts above, and funnily enough were also at Kessingland CC site last week in the windy weather. Pathfinder was dry on the inside even during the thunderstorm on Tuesday night. Ours also dries quickly. The only drawback is that if you have to fold it out or fold it down in the rain it can be a little awkward, unlike a caravan where you wind the steadies down and sit inside until the rain stops. Storage is simple, though we did buy the winter cover as it keeps the worst of the leaves, debris and so on off it during the winter. Even with the camper folded there is still alot of storage space available inside on the floor which can be accessed through the door if you fold the travelling cover back a bit. We manage to get all the pillows, sleeping bags and clothes placed in pillow cases for the six of us in easily, with space for a few boxes just inside the door. We bought ours used too as one of the posters above. 18 months old, used for a week by the previous owners who got rained out. Looked immaculate and still had the plastic bags on the grill pan. Thoroughly enjoyable camping. Off to France in the summer.

Noooo........... quilts are much better than sleeping bags.

We was in N. Devon B.H. weekend and it really blew for two days. Our awning was face onto the winds, I just had a feeling to play it safe, the awning was doubled pegged with plastic pegs & rock pegs in every loop, also I put on two awning straps. We had no real sleep for two nights, but the F.C. came out fine. We were with caravanners as well & they were just as concerned as us. Many tenters lost their units & and some caravans had awnings blown away.

I've often wondered what this 5th season fishing things have is ?

is it really worth paying £9000 + for????????

No, not really!  Have you thought about a Dandy?  Made from PVC not canvas.  Will not rot.  Every used Conway, Pennine & Trigano I looked at smelled of mould.  Many had mildew on the fabric due to being packed wet.  Dandys have no such problems, they can be lesft wet.  There are many out there that are 25+ years old.
