Earlier today we bought a Conway Camberley 350DL trailer tent. We got it for a good price but the bedroom bits smell (foystie!) We were hoping to put the inner and pup tents in the washing machine & are wondering if they are actually machine washable. (Its raining at the moment so we cant look to see if there's any care labels inside!)
Also could anyone tell us where we could get some new foam double mattress bits as we would like to replace them. I'd be really grateful for any advise as we are going camping next weekend & I don't want to sleep in it till we have it sorted!!

Cheers, Hails

You can put the inners in the washing machine, yup. 30'C, non bio powder and two rinses, just to get any detergent residue well out. Take the metal hanging loops off first, of coourse and don't be tempted to do what a friend on mine did and tumble dry them. (They shrank....) Dry them on the line.

As to foam, any foam warehouse can cut it. But...the covering on the mattresses had a damp-proof backing which prevents the mattress getting sodden with condensation and which is hard to get hold of. You'd obviously need to either get someone to cover the new foam or do it yourself. How about air beds instead? Or you could simply add a new outer cover. Folk use duvet covers or fitted sheets.

Val, you're a star! It's a cracking day in Norfolk today, so we're going to set it all up on the drive and give it a good airing! - thanks again for your advice.
Hails.

Hi,we just bought a conway trailer tent and the inners were the same. We wash ours on 30 degrees on dried on the outside line. No shrinkage at all. Happy camping!! ;-)
