Just got back from Somerset with our Conway Clipper, which was used for our first outing this week, just to test out the canvas etc ,and now know the reason i wanted a caravan. Gale force winds destroying tents all around, me and the wife uptill all hours fearing the tent and awning would vanish into the ether like the gazebo did at around 01:30, mind you the kids slept through it all and woke up in the morning asking where the other tent was...

The poor TT took a bit of a bruising, a rip in the front, and a few areas that looked like they were going to leak, but never did !

Had to put it down in fantasticly high winds and rain, as the wife said enough was enough this time. now back indoors and having a nice beer.

BUT, we all really enjoyed the whole week and met some really nice and helpful people, so will def do again soon, need advice on getting repairs sorted and also proofing the beast !!!!

Waterproofed my old conway last year before i sold it with Fabsil using a long radiator roller and sleeve was done in no time.Just roll it on about 8" short as it creeps down after application.The water will run off thereafter.
