Hi All,

Went to see a local trailer tent display today and we really like the Sunncamp 350SE. We were so tempted to buy it there and then but it is a lot of cash.

Does anyone have any advice before we take the plunge? There are six of us, two adults and four kids under nine - and we want to spend our money carefully. Would anyone advise against this TT or have a suggestion about where we might get a better deal. This one is £1699 but once the extras are added in (front box, spare wheel, under trailer liners, etc) the price is nearer £2200.

Many thanks for any advice.

Hi Janice and Co,

We have had a Sunncamp 400SE bought new in 2002. We are about to sell (subject to tomorrow's viewing of a folding camper) as it's down to two of us more or less and we want a unit we can live in just the cabin of. Certainly we've found the Sunncamp to be of quite reasionable quality and the size is fantastic. It's done us proud but we don't need the size. Sleeps 4 inside and 4 underneath and more if you put in an awning inner! Useful as slugs have attacked us once - when in a tent. Ours has a spare wheel and carrier, one underneath pod and will have other extras. We had an extra zip put in last year so that the side wall can roll up for extra ventilation but never tested it as OH did his back and we never got away. Our 'kids' are all adults now so it slept 5 adults (even the 6ft 'boy' who became known as the worm!) was very comfy in his private compartment underneath! MUCH more comfy than a tent. Cabin very quick to pop up and awning not bad. We took a gazebo with sides for overnight stops en route through Europe for cover and privacy without taking awning up and down. Feel free to email further questions if we can help.

Hi everyone, thanks for your thoughts, perhaps second hand is the way to go.

Lazydaisy and Needhairdryer, if you are interested in selling - please would you send me some further details. What you are selling, it's condition, the price you are after and some photos, if possible. That way we can have a look and see if it is what we are after, as we wouldn't want to put you to any trouble unnecessarily.

If you wanted, you could email me direct on ian.thomo@talk21.com or post the details on this thread.

Many thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

I would go for second hand as well -

We purchased a second hand folding camper a couple of years ago; but have recently sold it as we decided to get a tin tent. The beauty of second hand (couple of years old) is that we got nearly as much when we sold it as we paid for it. If we had bought a new one we would have lost lots more money.

Probably only worth buying new if you are going to keep it for a long time.
