We were looking at these today and were really impressed - Hubbie liked the 'Challenger' and I liked the 'Countryman', does anyone have any experience of either of these models?
I suggest you also ask on the Conway Owners Club forum - you don't have to be a member to use the forum and they are a very helpful lot, just like here.
we had a 1997 countryman and found it a great starter....depending on how many of you there are .....i must admit if i were to get another f/c then i would go for a six berth (there are four of us), but if its just the two of you then there would be plenty of space.
Got my Challenger for sale fully equipped, and can demonstrate it erected at home if required, but you are a bit far away for a quick trip down. See full description under Conway Challenger 1989 in For Sale section

Yes there is only the two of us - sounds like one to seriously think about.
We have a Countryman, opted for the countryman as we liked the idea of the fridge etc. Never regretted the decision. The larger FCs have trailers that would heve been to large for our narrow (and steep) driveway so the Countryman was the only realistic option. We have used it for weekends without the awning and managed fine although we have now bought a sun canopy to use when not using the awning as it gives us an area sheltered from any rain (not that it ever rains when we are away! LOL) The Countryman has enough space for the two of us and was ok when our daughter joined us one weekend. Its tight without the awning but fine with it.
I have owened a countryman for two years touring for a week or just weekends. I started camping with a small caravan but soon discovered that you need a tank, so I bought the countryman, no comparison the countryman is the dogs biscuits.Me ,wife,son and the dog all love it.I can travel up to 70 fully loaded with our focus diesel easily.Great campervan buy one.
