 Hello Folks

I am new to this forum so be gentle with me!

My wife & I are thinking seriously about buying a folding camper & are taken with the Combi Camp venezia.I have also been looking at the Comanche Montana. This is to be used for weekending & travelling the backroads on the west of the country. As we are new to buying such things I would be grateful if we could get a few hints from the more experienced (nearly said old)hands out there.

we really love our venezia this is our 3rd year with it - -you can set it up in about 5 mins max and it's so comfortable we have used it in cold windy weather in north of scotland and really hot  weather in south of france and the comfort levels are just the same and you can tour really easily - first trip we had 5 different stops in france and 2 in UK

. We looked at the comanche and although it's much cheaper ad smaller - it didnt seem to have the same quality of bed arrangements and the kitchen wasnt included - the kitchen in the venzia is very good and you can run the fridge while you are driving - so when you stop for lunch you can just fish it out the back ,,, but then maybe I 'm not giving the objective view as I just cant wait to get in it again..

We've got an earlier Combi-Camp than dotty or cate, but would re-iterate their commnets.  I love how quick they are to pitch the main cabin (and to pack it away at the end of a stay)

 Thanks for all your replies.Looks like the wife was right again!  Next question.  The only agent I can find for Combi-Camp is away down near London. Do any of you know if it is possible to find an agent in Scotland or failing that if anyone in Scotland has a Venezia would you be willing to let me come & have a look at said beast?   Like the forum by the way you seem like a friendly bunch of folks.

we got ours in Duncans in wishaw I think they got ir from Mangines - but I think duncans have stopped doing them - but the staff are very helpful there and could tell you all about them - camperlands in Manchester had some last year - but again -think they dont have any now as they dont advertise them.  theres another company in aberdeen  - turrif I think - mangines have used ones

Thanks for that Cate I will check out Turrrif as it is only 2 hours away.

They are a great TT, and very well made. They also seem to last very well.

I was talking to a couple from Glasgow with a Venezia on my hols last year, they had bought theirs from Scotalnd. Cant remember where I'm afraid.

Hi Jo 123

Thanks for that. I have already made contact with Kendal at the weekend & am awaiting some pics of the combi before & if I make the long drive south.
