What about this one - is it a good deal??

Another tip before buying any large outfit is to check with the campsites you favour to find out what the pitch sizes are.  We had a really old tt to start with which fitted into our favourite site but as we were new to camping we kept putting holes in the canvas so looked into buying a tent but as we were used to the space of the tt we were looking at a huge tent which wasn't accepted on most sites that i phoned so we gave up on that idea and ended up with a caravan, but we have space to store one.  Have you looked on your local freecycle as you will often find people giving away camping items and maybe even a tent to start you off as i think before you go spending loads of money you ought to try it.  Though with tt's you could easily get your money back.

Good Luck with your search and let us know how you get on

Hi Fitzmum,

One other make of TT that I have n't seen mentioned yet - (I don't have one, but trhey always sound good ) is the Combi-Camper, not so much pegging out and I think you could use without the awning for the weekend, If you go second hand, you could get a lot of bits which will help with the costs, the first TT we bought came with cooker,gas, fridge, EHU, practically everything, all I had to buy was sleeping bags and plates..  I know they are expensive new but a good s/hand would be as lot cheaper,  they do different sizes.

Good luck - you will love it,  just hope we get the weather.!!..
