Hi Kev and welcome to the forum.

If you do a search on here you may find a few previous threads on Transcampers. They are great trailer tents. Metal body and braked trailer so dead easy to tow and you can put loads of stuff in them. Lots came with underfloor heating and a 3 way fridge in the box. You can, if you still have the table and the spare bit of plywood, turn the middle space into another bed for 3 more people. .

The awning is easy to put up too with tripod poles and you sometimes get an extension piece and a sun canopy all in a compact little unit.

They are German or Dutch Alpen Kreuzer trailer tents and imported by Camperlands in Manchester until about 10 years or so ago.

Hope you have lots of happy camping trips.

many thanks for the warm welcome and the info i am slowly working my way through the forum reading the posts :)

the folding table and bit of ply for a 3rd bed are already in place by previous owner the TT only having 2 previous owners.

thanks for the heads up about the awning as when we bought the tent there was no room to see the awning or the sun canopy erected :(

we did however see the awning and sun canopy covers and all looked well.

will have to see if can find an fridge of some description as the tent didnt come with one but im sure ill be able to find something suitable eventually

thanks again

kev :)
