I know your tent is a doddle to put up but now you've sorted out the poles the TT will be much easier next time.  Its worth the effort although every time we get to the awning on our FC my husband starts muttering thats its far too much hard work.  Once its done he's happy as larry.

Enjoy it,

Hi Homebird....I know what you are saying but I think it was such an exhausting day getting it sorted it has scared us for life!  Tent for us for now I think :-)

 oner 2 years ago my wife and i gought a Fiesta trailer tent and just like everyone else after using it on a regular basis thro'out season it gets easier and easier and i am in my 70's,slowly,slowly catch monkey,but we get there and would;nt change TT except for another one.

Hi Homebird,

Not sure what kind of camper trailer tents you have in the UK but the OZtrail Camper Trailer Tents are very popular in Australia. Maybe you should see if anyone distributes them in the uk?

 We have a sunncamp, we also moved up one from a tent, i love it, no more cold floors to sleep on which i found even with a inflatable bed !!!!

  Dawn.

I love my Combi Camp!

I'm a single disabled lady of a certain age, and I can get the cabin pitched in under 1 minute. I need help with the awning but I think 20 mins should do it. I can get the poles together in under 5 mins (they are colour coded), the awning zips onto the cabin  -  I have managed this once in about 10 mins, then it's just pulling the awning over the poles and pegging which I needed help with.

The kitchen is fixed on the tow bar, and I pitch a cheap Argos utility tent over that so I have a semi-detatched cooking area. For me alone the cabin is quite adequate, and I lived in it for almost 2 weeks last year.  There is even space for stowing my powered wheelchair in it overnight.

Hope you get to grips with your new purchase soon, don't despair, practice will help!
