Hi new to trailer tents after a few years of camping with a dome style tent. Late last year we bought a well looked after Conway Clipper DL. We had a week in Machrihanish that was probably our best camping experience ever. So just wondering whats your best accessory that you's wouldnt leave without? We are'nt looking to add any cooking accessories as the bolt on hob and grill that comes within the kitchen are more than enough for our family. We plan to use this and maybe next year upgrade to a folding camper. We would like to get a carpet as we used 4 picnic rugs do to the job, So any tips would be great and many thanks in advance :)

Sorry if this isnt in the right forum area

 

Cheers Paul

Proper pillow and duvet. I think that's the luxury that I most appreciate with the trailer tent. Of course we do take more stuff because we can take more stuff, but its being able to sleep that does it for me.

All the best,

memory foam topper, good pillow & duvet. slept like a baby the 8 nights we've just been away, despite numerous comments all week long about the rough diesel train snoring the whole night long in the tent next to us. People across the other side of the field could hear him!

deffo all of the above with regards to bedding.. no more airbeds going down, and no more sleeping on the floor,, you`ll love it, and you`ll love the attention you get from others,, ooing n aahing, when they see you all glamped up.. Enjoy the year with the TT,, we did a year with one, ,and love the FC when you get one.

TV, Sat dish, mobile broadband router, comfy chairs, proper pillow and duvet!

Glamping not Camping

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Feel nostalgic (probably the wrong word) for the trailer tent, but love the caravan. "Camping" all year round is fantastic.

Homemade, bits picked up from an electrical store and just a cheap paper shade.

We enjoyed Le Pin Parasol last year and off there again in Aug and planning for 2015 as well!
