Hi all looking to get a conway crusader sometime next year, do they creek when it is windy, wife is not 100% keen on getting one, have a caravan at the moment but it is 20 yrs old and to small for three children plus me and the wife, any pros and cons with regards to owning a folding camper.

Many thanks

We've only use our foldng camper once, the first night it poured down, and the next night it was very windy.  Ours flapped a bit but I think that was because the awning wasn't pegged out properly (we'd forgotten our pegs and had to buy some) and also no guy lines.  The main unit was solid though.  We have a Conway Countryman

Hi There,

I have just brought a Conway Cruiser and they are FANTASTIC. My partner wanted to buy a trailer tent and I was very dubious. They sounded good but thought they would not live up to it!!
I saw a Conway Cruiser for sale and went to view it and was pretty impressed with it, hard to believe that a little trailer and become a mini caravan when erected. Loads of room for storage and sleeping, 3 double beds and plenty of room in the awning to put a little tent in too!!!

When we first went out in it I was unsure of the weather as it was virtually a storm!! But I slept like a baby!!! There are a few noises from the wind etc but nothing to make you feel like you are going to either be blown away or that the tent will collapse!!! That was one of my worries!!!

All in all they are brilliant and I would recommend them to everyone. Easy to store and tow and tonns of room in them.

Can't comment on a folding camper, as we've just got one.  However, we did have a trailer tent and last year we were out in some very very windy weather, and had no problems with it creeking.
