Hi, no we didn't pay full price as it was second hand and we part exed our Oceane. Apparently a couple bought it new from them in 2009 and then didn't like camping so part exchanged it for a caravan from them. I have spoken with the dealer who thought the Odyssee was only manufactured from 2009 and tells me the brochure was wrong about the bed but i don't think he really has a clue. To be fair he offered a refund and our oceane back or for us to keep it and he'll send the missing pole to us. I don't really want to say where it came from unless it isn't resolved amicably!

If you let me have the serial number of the Odyssee I'll look up the date of manufacture for you.

Marie,

 My husband has just confirmed ours has only one side slatted which is the one that rests on the trailor, the side that you pull over is a black corrogated sort of board  which would make sence as this is what you screw the underbed to.

 Hope this helps.

Thanks Yvonne and thanks Rob for the offer. I have just looked at the 2010 brochure which states "for the first time 2 slatted beds is an option" which means the 2009 model must have had only one so I suspect I may have made a bit of a fuss about nothing although the 2009 brochure is very misleading.  So as long as the missing pole arrives this week as promised I am happy as it looks a great trailer tent and I wouldn't want to return it now anyway.

Now I am thinking about the sun canopy. Do you have that and if so is it good? Awning and accessories.co.uk have offered it delivered for £225 which is a bit cheaper than elsewhere.

Hi Alison,

          We do find it to be quite sturdy,it comes with really good storm straps.We just use a waterproof garden bench cover over our kitchen at night time,also the canopy has sides so that helps to protect the kitchen.We find we have more room inside our tent now.

Hi Yvonne, do you have any photos of yours with the sun canopy?

Our roof pole arrived today- quite impressed now with the dealer as I only phoned him yesterday so all is forgiven! We've had it up on the drive again today and are still very please with it but just a few questions if you don't mind.

Do you have an underbed tent and if so how does it fasten on. Our old trailer tent had popper like attachments on it but this one doesn't.

Also the poles that goes between the beds are black and the T bar type things for the roof pole and wardrobe are scratching the black paint off. Does yours do that? Only cosmetic so not a massive problem but not sure if we are doing something wrong.

Thanks again, it's really helpful getting advice from someone that has the same TT!

Marie.
