Have other people noticed the number of Trailer tents on ebay that have only been used once or twice. One advertised today has only been used (claimed) for one week in its entire life.

I would be a mighty expensive holiday to buy a Trailer Tent new, and just use it for one week.

In my experiences it's usually one half of the couple who is enthusiastic and convinces/encourages the other half to 'give it a try, you'll love it'.   Then reality strikes and coerced partner declines to do it again.  Result - single camper with large tt/fc or reluctant sale after near divorce experience!  Wet packs are usually the finisher.  

I suppose that we were almost in that boat a few years ago.... however, we bought a second hand TT for a few hundred pounds, not a top of the range FC for £6000 or more

Needless to say, we scraped by on that first camping trip (the trip from hell, nothing has ever come close since) and are a happy Trailer Tenting family now

Well,that's how my adverts going to read. Though I will point out that the dog only smokes outside.

When we bought our second hand crusader it can't have been used more than a few times if at all...all the curtains were still sealed in their original packets and it was immaculate inside - toilet was sparkling...it was basically a new camper for second hand price.

I wasn't 100% convinced when we bought it that we'd like it...but for now, it suits us, especially for our summer holiday in France...there is NO WAY I could take our 7 year old on a hotel holiday and have a good time...she's a menace and needs to be able to run free and campsites, both here and abroad, are ideal for that.

Haha that made me laugh

I suppose I am guilty too.  I have a 2001 Comanche Montana which I bought last year and used once.  I have a caravan on a seasonal pitch and bought the tt for when we wanted to go elsewhere as I hate towing a caravan and we would need to buy a new tow car as ours isn't a good match (well TBH it isn't any sort of match!)

However, we are taking the tt to Holland and Germany this summer for six weeks so it will earn its keep this year.
