well, we entered the world of trailer tenters this weekend, purchased a fantastic cabanon galaxy from a guy on ebay, great seller, ebay at its best. Lovely guy who showed us everything he could given that we were in the M11 services on a very wet day. got it home and just had to have a look at it in between rain storms, looks really good, even came with all instructions so we going to have a go at the awning poles later so we dont look total newbies on site next week! ( that is if the gae we have been having blows over by then!)

anyone any tips or advice for living with a cabanon??

cheers

Yes, we went from a lovely abbey vogue 540 which we had for 18 months and sold just after christmas. We loved it but it did have a couple of major drawbacks..

storage-on front drive whereas tt goes snugly into the garage

diesal costs- had to have a specific towcar which was very thirsty, we can tow the galaxy with my little family car much more eco and wallet friendly.

also we found towing quite stressy, esp in high winds. If we had an unlimited wallet and werent too bothered about carbon footprints we would have kept the caravan, as it was it sat there for a while doing nothing and cost so much to tow when we did go away. We sold the big tow car and now make do with a smaller cheaper one.
