hi
we recently bought a second hand Trailer Tent. We'd had a small demo of how to put the trailer part up and most of the awning, however the kitchen and "wardrobe" part was a bit of a bodge went up fine but had some spare poles!
Has anyone got a PDf or could post a scanned copy of the instruction or even just a pole diagram.

Thanks

I know the Raclet owners club doesn't see much action these days or my first suggestion would have been there, but you could try speaking to Raclet. They are the main UK agents, so may be able to help.

They have an exhibition going on at the moment which might be worth a visit if it's not too far away.

They didn't have a 480R up, but the Flores range is all the same base unit, just different awnings (Floreal's have better kitchens). The 480R was an Acropolis in it's previous colours, and a Parthenon (I think)before that, so someone may be able to help.

We're going away (weather permitting) in ours (480R) this weekend, so I could take some photo's of specific bits if that would help?

I would dispute that Floreals have better kitchens!

Raclet make 2 types of kitchen, the Floreal type is the back door, just like most other makes, and the Flores type hangs on the back door, but lifts off. For my money, you don't lose much worktop space, but you get the ability to go away either a) by yourself (you can lift the smaller kitchen with one person), b) using only the cabin for overnight stops (with the bigger kitchen you have to manhandle it inder the beds, and it's always more draughty), and c) without the kitchen if you don't want it (impossible with the bigger one).

 

I'm afraid Raclet have always been rubbish about instructions; what they have is a general instruction book (I can email you a copy if you want), and a pole diagram. That's it!

The Flores 480R was previously called the Acropolis or Hex, the Parthenon is the square fronted version of same. Other versions with smaller awnings were called Herald , 603, Bermudes, Batik etc. etc. etc.
