I am considering purchasing a TT and am looking at the Trigano Oceane. As an option you can buy the unit with brakes.  Can anybody advise if this is really necessary and how the brakes work ?  Your advice would be greatly appreciated.  Also, I would like to bring up the old debate about Sunncamp TT`s and their poor quality as reported by some.  Has anybody purchased a new one as I read somewere that they had improved the overall quality. It does seem a very appealing package as they are so much bigger than other TT`s.  However, I have been put off them by the bad reports even though I have not seen them "in the flesh" which is why I am now looking at the Trigano.  Again, any comments would be appreciated.

Gaz,

I bought a new Sunncamp 350SE in October after viewing several other brands, second hand and new.  What i liked bout it was the size of the thing in comparison to others of a similar price ( i was on a limited budget).  Another reason for buying the sunncamp was the additional freebies the dealer through in with it being the end of the season (amounted to a bout £500 quids worth if bought separately).

Anyway its only been up when i picked it up and the dealer walked me through pitching it.  I also pitched it once for practice and after a few headaches of what goes where and poles falling on my head it went up relatively easy.  It seemed a fairly robust TT and evrything appeared to be well made (but then youd expect that iin a new TT).

I have only towed it a bit but not had any problems and i am using a Kia Rio 1.3 and the TT is well within the towing weight permitted in the cars handbook.

As for how it stands up to actual use I am afraid i wont be able to comment on that until the end of the year.

Overall from the research i did prior to the purchase i think it will be value for money but only time will tell on that one.

I am just looking forward to using it throughout the year and who knows maybe meet up with some of you on the meets.

All the best for the new year.

regards

we used to have a sunncamp 350sx untill we got a folding camper. we had the 350sx for about 3 years and never had a problem with it at all . each time we went away there was the usual swearing when putting it up or bringing it down as i have not much patience, hence the reason for buying a FC, but when it was up the amount of space in the 350sx was massive with room for everything.

the reports that ive read on the sunncamp have been a bit up and down but my own opinion is they are good for what you pay  .

Gazz,
