Hi all

Newbie here and new to camping generally so need some help please!!  We are looking to buy a trailer tent second hand and like the look of a Sunncamp 350 or Racelet Marathon.  Does anyone have any info on any of these or can you advise as to which one is better? 

Any advice generally also would be appreciated as to what to look for etc etc.

Many many thanks in advance.

Hi smirfy,

I can only go from experience of a sunncamp 350se trailer tent, we think they are excellent. They are quite big you have a large awning area and with lots of space and what we liked was the under pods so if 8 of use went away we all had a room to sleep. We have since brought a caravan as we want to go away all through the year and are hoping to go away for new year.

We still have the trailer tent it is up for sale at the minute.

Thanks everyone for your comments.  Am going to have a look at a Sunncamp 350 at the weekend so will let you all know.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi we are very happy with the sunncamp 400se we have ,its easy to put up and tow and in my mind an all round great tent

                   have fun looking and good luck

We camped at weymouth last year when we had torrential rain and very very strong winds, the tt stood up to that. We had no rips, tears or bent poles.I think it personal choice. We loved ours but we had the chance of a great caravan that we can use all year. We have used the tt up until the end of october and had a heater on and it was fine but i think we would be too cold in December/January.

I forgot to say,

Happy hunting for a tt.

Thanks everyone.

We ended up buying the Sunncamp 350SE.  Got a good deal (I hope/think!) so am looking forward to our first outing in it. 

Really appreciate everyone's comments.  Thank you.

I have had both a Sunncamp and a Raclet trailer tent - perfered the Raclet as it was easier to erect.    Also there was no way I could lift the Sunncamp kitchen unit solo.
Only reasin we sold the Raclet is that we had a buyer, and were after a Folding Camper.     The idea being it would make life eaier for me when I took the kids solo.    Only problem is that I swapped cars, and my new car won't tow it.
