If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

You have a Raclet, my friend. Haut-Eclair is the name of the place where it was made.

My best guess is it's a 1980-1982 type 603.

Does it have a bamboo-style pattern on the curtains?

And is the awning 1.5 "units" deep (i.e. two sets of vertical legs from front to back)?

Is there a PVC panel to the right of the cabin door as you stand outside looking at it?

If so, you have a type 603. If not, tell me more details and I'll see what I can do. I can certainly do instructions if you want.

Too small to see but the size shape colour and decals are certainly consistent with a Type 603, and it's defo a Raclet.

OK, probably a 1979 601 or 603 then.

They are essentially the same as the Raclet Flores, so any spares from the flores (under bed tents, curtains etc. etc.) will fit the tent.

hi,yank,we are in the same boat as you.we were lucky enough to win a trailer tent off freecycle this morning and it was only a couple of miles away in Sale[just across the river for us].we got it home but cannot find any name on it except for the chassis number.We will attempt to put it up at weekend and see if it suits us more than our tents. all we can tell about it is that it has a fibreglass body,the tailboard is plywood which is the full width,the wheel-arches are part of the bodywork and the colour is basically light brown/yellow-ish. If we find any more about it we will be back here asking you experts!

I'm gonna say Creighton Binns folding camper.

Whatever is it, it's old, british and that's one helluva damp stain!

But, so long as it's waterproof, who cares!
