Hello
I’m a single mum with some mobility difficulties and physical limitations (fatigue, lower back pain, wobbly legs). I have used static caravans numerous times and camped in caravans and motor homes as a child with grandparents, so I really don’t know the realities. I’m thinking about a folding camper. I’m in the early thinking about it stage, have been reading lots about it. I would need a toilet and wash room. With a young child and me having some physical limitations we would be making full use of the toilet, using it just for wee’s is not an option. So will emptying it be physically demanding? I can pull a trolley fine. I can lift as long as I don’t have to carry something. Is being able to do this enough? When we return from our travels, tired and have to be up early for work and school on Monday Is there lots of stuff which needs to be done?
I have a decent sized driveway to store it. Haven’t towed before. I used a trailer tent years ago (it was very old and bars were rusty) but I know I couldn’t manage to put that up now. None of us have unlimited funds, I need to makes sure that if I do it I spend wisely.
I love the idea of getting the kids out and about, seeing more of the country, and not having to spend £600 for a week in a chalet in August, roughing it a bit (but not much). I’m a resourceful person who isn’t afraid of having a go. Just not sure if I’ve considered the realities of a folding camper. I think a caravan is too expensive and difficult to tow, a trailer tent is too much like a tent (not keen). I have three children (although the eldest probably won’t join us) and a large (but skinny) dog to house in it.
Any tips and things to consider would be much appreciated.
Thanks
