My wife and I have gone through the gambit. Tent. caravan and most recently a motorhome ( Hovel)
As I am having to give up driving, da missis isn't happy towing a caravan or driving a MH, She does however feel she would be able to manage a trailer tent.
Any info would be appreciated but specificly are the beds robust enough to take an 18 stone, 6' 4" lump like me?
Cheers
Pete

Hi Pete, I am 6' 4" and a lot heavier than 18 stone.
My wife is large too and we each use the beds in a Pennine Pathfinder. One double bed each.

If just 2 the Trigano Odysee, if more the Trigano Olympe. Both have slatted beds are easy toput up and last for years. As for towing you don't know that they are there.
Best regards,
Tony.

For two of you I would also look at a Trigano Alpha, which has a slatted bed and would cope with weights you refer to.
The towing is great as it is no wider than the width of the car so no extra mirrors needed. Also you can see out the rear view mirror.

Listen to Griff, he's the font of all knowledge

As a child my families menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.

Well I have gone and done it. Bought a 2010 Sunncamp 240se off of ebay for £450. The bloke says he has only used it twice. Anyway as it is cash on collection, we shall see.

That's a thought Karen. The engine management light has gone off now.
