Having owned both i have to agree with the above .A folding camper base is much like a small caravan, with cupboards, wardrobe,sink, cooker,fridge ect all built in.You can also use just the main unit for short breaks ,which means no pegging down.Like the previuos say they are quite alot heavier than TTs. It all depends on your towcar.The 4 berths ,and the older 6 berth cruisers at around 750 kg max (loaded) While the larger pathfinder,crusader size (with built in toilet) at around 1000kg max.

Hi Sanyorobot,

We've owned both and found the FC much more luxurious, very rarely do we use our awning like we had to on the TT. (only the two of us.) 

Our TT's cooker was heavy to unhook from trailer, fiddle with the right legs lengths, took two persons to lug around in and out of the awning , then getting it level. the FC's cooker is already in place and can be loaded at home along with the on board fridge, if you are lucky to have one onboard. Also washing up facilities with hot and cold ruinning water, bliss. 

TT was easier to push on our gravel drive and hitch to car, but our FC needed motor movers fitted as we couldn't push or manoeuver it around on the gravel unless we had three persons to help.

How many persons are to be camping/sleeping in the FC Sanyorobot ?

I have a Raclet Tamaris which is the same as Trigano 575 TC.  It is great value, very comfortable, the toilet compartment can become en-suite and tows a dream.  It is over 2 m wide so needs wide garage but overwinters well under a winter cover.  The only downside, due to its chassis construction, is the movers cannot be fitted to it.   On a level pitch very manouverable but on an incline needs at least two fit people.

Hope this helps.
