A decent sized tent I can pitch on my own.
I can fit it in the back yard, so no worries about paying for storage.
It strips down easily for overwinter storage of the canvas.
Don't need a great big car to tow it. Easy to tow.
It feels solid and dependable.

Comfy beds, canvas, space, headroom and everything packed in the trailer.
I've just had a tent weekend with the headache of getting it all in the car, and now I have to put it all away again!
------------- All the best,

I love the fact that we have a huge 8 berth tent that fits on most pitches :) We'd never fit on a pitch in a similar berth tent. I love sleeping off the ground without damp or sagging-overnight, beds :) The kitchen is heavy but once it's in place we have a good storage/kitchen without losing loads of room in the awning space. The other advantage of a tt is that it doesn't have a sig so we can go on hard standing if we choose, and we prefer to :)
When ours is all set up with the double awning and sun canopy we get a lot of admiration ;)

I love the versatility of my FC. We store everything on it, but if we are only going away for a weekend, most of it just stays in its storage space, so 15 minutes to set up and an off the floor warm and comfy bed and i still have canvas above me. For longer stays the awning is very easy to put up and I have space for everything to be tidy and organised (my camper is always MUCH tidier than my house!) Room for all my creature comforts, microwave, toaster, whistling kettle, not having to traipse to do the washing up or go to the loo in the pouring rain. I too, prefer hardstandings but enjoy having a choice.
When it's all set up it looks like a little house and is all warm and cosy inside if the weather is vile, but it can all be opened up for fresh air to flow through when that strange yellow thing appears in the sky...
I should just have said everything, really!

Our reasons are pretty much the same as the other posts.
As we had previously been tent campers, we decided on a TT without kitchen, as we already had all the equipment we needed. Also means that the trailer is much lighter, especially important for us as we only have a 1.2 litre car.

We have just bought a cabanon mistral tt our first. we had enough of the tiredness of dragging all the camping stuff out of the loft then trying to fit all the car and then after a very wet week away in june half term we went and bought out first tt.
like the fact that you can store evrything in the trailer then just put clothes and pillows in car then off you go.

I used to like sleeping in the beds off the floor,and the space.
Dislikes were putting it up 4 hours (sunncamp 400se).No doubt people will say they can put it up in x amount of time but it took me and wife ages.
And also it having no sewn in inner ground sheet which was a nightmare in bad weather.
pros and cons to all but gone back to a smallish tent with all stuff in a erde trailer ready to go
