hi we are new to this and have put up once in dads garden is it ok to leave the inner bed nets and cabin canvas on when folding away as dad said would be easier to set up next week on first hols? also concerned that will lose space for potti etc but i can see would reduce setting up by 30 mins as canvas is quite heavy.

thanks

claire

Well you definitely leave the cabin canvas on and lots of people leave the inner tents on too. Some trailer tent owners unclip the roof clips and fold the inner tents down on the beds before folding the camper up - whether you need to or if its just to stop them getting crumpled I don't know.

You can also leave the cabin roof liner in place and just unclip one side so it folds down. Any creases soon drop out in a damp field

I leave the inners in place, just unhook them and collapse them onto the beds. Take them out for storage indoors over winter though.
