Okay - so where should we go to see more folding campers - went along for our first trip to the NEC and there was an appache circle of folding campers from Pennine and that was all.....nothing wronge with what they have but I would have loveeed more.

We have a 1989 Conway Challenger and been out bank holidays and over nights, living on the norfolk/suffolk border gives us plently of lovely sites for short stays - we intend going to France next year and if all goes well update so just wanted to see what is about....

I was REALLY disappointed with the NEC this year on two counts..

Lack of folding campers - have Dandy disappeared/gone bust? There was a token appearance from Combicamp but all in all, no where near as good as last year.

Secondly, only one hall of caravans/accessories?

What's with all the motorhomes??? Those halls were practically empty on Sunday!

There are more folding campers on show at Caseys Outdoor Leisure near Chester than at the NEC.

I wish there was an exhibtion solely for tents, trailer-tents and folding campers - things normal people might be able to afford, rather than the endless rows of hideously expensive motor homes that no-one seemed to be looking at.  We looked at camplet, combi, trigano and pennine/conway and spent the rest of the time looking round the small stalls. 

Hi

Have you tried Barrons (now called Discover) in Cumbria, they normally advertise in all the caravan magazines & The caravan Club magazine.

We bought our Pennine Sterling from them 2 years ago and were very pleased with the choice of models to view.

Give them a try.

Good luck
