Hi Malkieron

I checked them out £125 for a week is cheap enough so may very well be getting in touch with them, unless I go crazy and buy to try

Hi Deelancs

We took a chance and bought a 1984 American Coleman folding camper off ebay,

 I have to admit we are more than happy with it. OK its not an "all singing all dancing"  top range model, but for less than £400 its cosy, has plenty of space and tows like a dream. The main thing is as others have said, the beds are ready made, its up in 10 minutes, and has plenty of luggage space when towing.It lasted a season so more than paid for itself.

Have a look and see what's for sale  now that prices are low, thats the best way to "buy to try" and if you don't like it (which I doubt will be the case), put it back up for sale and make a profit.

hi well not ere to sell u owt but do listen we moved up from tent to f/c and never looked back . We ended up buying the penine sterling  but they all good

Just one thing try going to shows like nec in feb" time cos they seem to give all extras like awning and stuff like that in price  so what ever u buy good luck

we moved from a tent to a fc this year and its the best thing we ever done.  It is absolutely brilliant.  I can thoroughly recommend it.  We bought a 2004 Conway Cruiser and it more than meets our needs.  We also bought the awning and under bed skirts and it looks fab. 

I luv my fc and can't wait until next season.

Happy Camping

We moved from a TT to a FC this year. It's so much less fuss pitching for short stays. We settled for the Pennine Pullman. We made a mistake buying a TT, it took too long to put up for the quick weekends. Too many pegs. I would advise you to try before you buy. In the end its your choice. Everyone has their favourites but in the end it's your decision and budget.

Good luck
