Just wondering if I bought a second hand TT (conway) without a cooker, does anywhere sell them, breakers etc?

The hob is not a special unit and should be available from Cabanon stockists,or maybe Tent Valeting in Bolton,or do you mean the entire kitchen? If it is a model that has no kitchen in the first place,then it may not be possible to retro fit,the axle would need moving,there may be fixings already in the chassis for this but the wheel arches could be a problem.You would also need the sliding support bars and would have to mondify the lighting .If it should have a kitchen but it is missing,then they do pop up from time to time on E Bay,either on their own or as part of a trailer tent sold for spares.Look out for Cabanon ones too,and maybe Sunncamp. If it is a model that should have a kitched ie:a DL, then it cant be used without.The kitchen on a TT isnt the best bit anyway and is a bit cumbersome.

We bought a TT with kitchen. The kitchen needed a bit of TLC so I keep looking for a better one. They are rare as hens teeth and get snapped up. Better to spend extra buying a TT with one already in place. Unless, as said above you have a TT that isn't meant to have a TT kitchen unit, in which case use a normal camp kitchen.

We've been watching the prices on TT's for quite a few month's and the one's with extra's like the kitchen and larger awnings always go for more than those without.  So personally i'd buy one that if and when we come to sell it we have that extra edge on all the other's for sale.

On the other side you can manage without a kitchen as most tt's do come with a kitchen window so that you can put your own in or leave it outside.  The kitchen's are very heavy to manouvere around but worth it imo :)

Hello, I have a Cabanon Stratos with a kitchen unit. When bought new the kitchen is a £500 option. WAY too expensive! I bought the TT almost new so I didn't pay this.

I honestly would not have one if I had the choice. They weigh a tonne, make the trailer quite a lot longer and the build quality is pretty poor. They do come in quite useful for storing cutlery though.

I would prefer to spend the money on a couple of good quality folding kitchen style tables and a good gas stove. You won't slip a disc lugging it around, it will do just as good a job and will cost much much less than a kitchen, unless you could find a decent second hand one.

This is just my opinion, but I just find the kitchen a pain in the A.

Andy.

I have a Cabanon Neptune with kitchen and I wouldn't be without it. It's part of the pleasure of having a TT versus a tent in that everything is always packed and ready to go. They are heavy, but based on suggestions from this forum in the past I replaced the legs with ones that have wheels on the bottom. Perfect. Really easy to move around now. They are £25 per pair from Tent Valeting Services - see Items for Sale. I replaced all 4 legs.

i think there great, fair enough we only paid 500 quid for the whole tent so there not worth 500 quid on its own in a million years and they are heavy, but for 2 adults its not an issue, and the kids are not going to knock it over with a football ect.
Having everything we need for cooking inside a unit that doesent take storage space in either the trailer or the car imho is a godsend i wouldnt be without ours.
