Hello,

Have just joined.  Have been looking at getting a trailer tent and want something easy to put up (have small children so need something fast errecting) and these two campers seem to fit the bill.  Have joined Combi Camp forum and there is a lot of help and guidance there.  Was wondering about Creighton Binns as there doesn't seem to be a lot on the web about them so thought I would check on here.  Looking at a Comfort model on sale locally and hope to view over the weekend but wanted to know the dimensions of these folded up.  Have a garage but wouldn't have room in garage to store one I don't think so not sure if it is avisable to store one on drive esp. over winter months.  Would appreciate any help offered.  Sorry if this question has been asked countless times before.

Hi Julie and welcome to UKCampsite.

Afraid I don't know much about Creighton Binns except that they were British Made and supposed to be good solid campers. I've never even seen one in the flesh. As far as I know they haven't been made for many years.

Combi Camps are still made and imported to Britain, so spares availability is much better. They are seen much more often.

Hi,

I've got a crighton binns comfort camper- i bought it blind off ebay and fortunatley it turnedout to be a fair good one for its age.

few minor scuffs and a couple of repairs but not bad.

it is very very easy to maouvre, erect and take down, i do it easily by myself.It's not the most luxiourious of campers- but compared to my tent that i used for years - it feels like luxury!! for the £400 it set me back, i think it was worth the money and have used it about 6-8 times so far this year.

its plenty spacious enough- i haven't had the awning up yet though. spares,.... hmmm, don't know, i took it to local Barrons and they wouldn't touch it for servicing- said they probably wouldn't be able to get bits, so i gess it may be on borrowed time, but taking it a weekend at a time at the mo and just enjoying it

don't know anything about the other type, sorry.

Hope you get yourself sorted with one soon

Creighton Binns have not been made for decades.  If you get one, make sure you see it go up & ensure all the bits work as you'll need to look very hard for spares.
