Just got our first (2nd hand) trailer tent and spent our first night in it.
With no instructions per say and bearing in mind we put all the awnings up (just to see), a couple of breaks and taking it steady it did, I have to admit, take us 4 hours to put it up. Takes us 20 minutes with the tent! We must remember to put a stool in though - OH is not 7'!
But we got there and a fine specimen she is too!
We used most of our camping gear, ehu, lights etc., which worked absolutely fine. Might have to put our SIMS under or on the mattress, the bed was a bit hard and sleeping in our tent arrangement is like sleeping in our own bed.
Saturday night was really cold and we just put a fan heater in the cabin, zipped up and watched tele with a glass of wine - cosy. It was cold in the awning though and missed the sewn in groundsheet plus the fact that it was huge. Had couple of wee drams to keep warm - still no good - so bed and read.
It was cold through the night and even though our sleeping bags kept our bodies warm, our heads and noses did get cold.
It rained but dried out quickly and the good news - no leaks!
Took a while to take her back down, again we did it slowly, took measurements for certain things etc.. We have realised there are certain things we need and questions need to be asked. So where shall I start?........................................................................................................
