Hi, We were looking to buy a trailer - a Brenderup with a lockable hardtop - to keep all of our camping gear in it all year round - it will be stored in our garage. Does anyone else do this & does the sleeping bags & tent keep well or will it go mouldy at all? Thanks

I do this and have done it successfully for the last 5 years. However no bedding is sorted there it is all kept in the house. My first tent was polyester and kept in the trailer. I made sure it was dry and stored it with no problems. I also make sure that everything in the trailer is clean. Crumbs of food will go mouldy otherwise.
My current tent is cotton and although I would have no problems with storing it I have the option of a warm dry space at work. So there it will stay till next I need it.
The idea of winter storage in the trailer is fine but make sure that there is some ventilation but not enough that vermin can get it and cause havoc.
Use common sense and Good luck.

We keep all our gear in out trailer, it lives in the garage, all packed ready to go.
As above, we did have a Polyester tent, now we have up graded to pollycotton, this year, I think I will be bringing the canvas and inner bedrooms home and under our bed for the winter. Will more than likely bring the beding in to for the winter. Never had a problem in the last 5\6 years with leaving it all in the trailer but I don't want to wreck a £1000 tent.lol.
