I used to leave the awning canvas zipped to the main cabin canvas on an old pennine pullman I had. It saved quite a bit of time.  We used the liners as they made it a lot warmer, gives a gap for air inbetween the canvas and the liner,Insulation? they also made it look a lot nicer.  Marking all the poles will make it a lot quicker as well.  Have fun.

Conway Camargue owner here. Yes it's fine to leave the awning sections zipped on and fold them back over the cabin between uses, but be warned it does make the cabin poles extremely heavy to handle and tbh I wouldn't recommend this method if there's only one adult putting the TT up. It doesn't actually take that much more time to zip the awning on and off, we've found, and there's two of us. We only leave everything zipped on now when changing campsites.

The roof liners in the cabin are essential for warmth I think. In the awning? They add a layer of insullation against cold or heat but tbh we've never bothered with them. If you want the wardrobe/toilet partition you'd need to use them too.

We've got a Conway Classic and we leave the main awning on when packing away and definetely get the poles colour coded :)  Ours came already done and it makes putting up so much easier.  The bags for the poles and awnings also came in their own named bags which again makes it easier :)  The time it takes you to put it up and take it down will get shorter and shorter :)

We got it just after Xmas and will get to use it for the first time the week after next :)

Thats brilliant idea about seperate bags, going to have another trial run putting it up today and loading a few bits into the trailer (eating things, chairs, table and wind break)


Hope you enjoy your break as much as im going to enjoy mine :) I have the wine central heating all ready :)

That's what we thought when we opened it up :)  It really does make life so much easier :)

I'm sure we will but will buy the warming stuff once we are there lol :)  Have a great time too :)
