They're like a tardis. We take four cycles - all on the top of the tt. We have a four cycle carrier that fits onto our car tow bar but can't use it with the tt as there isn't room for it to turn around corners without crashing the bikes into the tt!!!! We carry the cycle rack in the car's roof box so that we can drive to safe cycle routes from the camp site.

Don't worry, you'll have plenty of storage space in the tt itself especially if it has a large fridge box on the A frame. Hubby made ours - it's much bigger and cheaper than the ones you can buy. We keep most of our stuff in the tt permanently (all the cavnas and liners, sleeping bags, bed rolls, under bed tents, pillows, windbreak, table & chairs, stools, BBQ and stand, oven, various toys and games, heater, Tv, all the poles - and there are lots as we've a middle extension and a sun canopy all of which have their own poles!) We keep the fridge, gas bottles, ground sheets and electic hook up in the fridge box instead of the fridge! If you pack well then the kitchen unit can hold all the pots and pans, crockery, cutlery etc. that you'll need. Then all you need take in the car is clothes, food and wine!!!! Oh, and the kids!    

I'd say "Go for it". We've not regretted it for a minute.

We're considering buying a trailer tent. I grew up in a caravanning family, and have done basic camping, but a trailer tent seems to meet our needs now. Don't fancy sleeping on the floor, and neither of us fancies towing a caravan (haven't got room either).

My question's this: can you get access to the storage lockers under the seats when the tent is folded up? If not, presumably this means all clothing etc has to go in the car?

Thanks for your replies.
