All Raclets come with a plate,but instead of the date,it just has Charlie's 'phone number.If you type Raclet on your keyboard a little man from Google goes round to his house.

Hehehe.

There's very little info on the net because Raclet are a terribly old fashioned company who have never liked the interwebs. The plates have a serial number but not a date because they used to change their models nearly every year and then use up last year's chassis before switching to a new one. As a result, the models are particularly difficult to keep an eye on. I have most of the older catalogues, hence why I can look them up.

BTW, before you decide to keep your Conway classic over your Raclet, do make sure that you put both up and make sure you are happy with the erection system and quality of your conway. They're good enough but rather light on the engineering front. Check the bed boards and cabin frame and you'll see what I mean, and feel the 2 canvases next to each other...

Charlie

Thanks for the advice, help and information 24

I'll make sure that we put them both up and check them over before deciding but to be honest from looking at both of them the classics canvas did seem to be newer looking or maybe the colour appealed to me more lol.

Cheers once again Charlie :)

Oh, yes, the canvas will be newer - several years newer.

And don't get me wrong, the conway is a fine TT and may well be just the right one for you.
It's just that it's more difficult to put up (nearly impossible with 1 person), WAAAY heavier and has a rather MFI-esque interior.

lol Charlie

Yes the materials used on conways are very lovely lol.

I was impressed with the kitchen on the Raclet how it swings out yet can also be freestanding :)

We will certainly be putting them both up and having a good look at them but i think we'll probably go for the newer Conway because it has the extra's like the drawers in the cabin area and the sun canopy.  It might be quantity over quality in this instance lol

Resurrecting the thread!

I'm not the proud owner of trailer tent described above!

After an aborted attempt to erect it, I finally dragged it to my parents house and erected it in their front garden, sans awning.

As we are now about 55 days from the TT debuted at Glastonbury I feel I should have a practice putting the awning on. Problem is I've no idea where to start. Anyone (i.e RacletCharlie!) have some hints or tips. I've the instructions somewhere but thought that real world experience from you guys would be a brilliant support to the instructions (being a bloke I'm not good with instructions!)

Oh, and when putting the TT up, didn't look like it could be used without some sort of awning/porch? In the bag there's a 2-3 food wide "strip" with a window in one side, a door in the other and a Zip all the way round it, my spidey sense tells me it might be a "porch" that goes between the TT and awning? Who knows! Weather gods permitting, I'll have a go at the awning this weekend!
