I know this has come up before but think its worth checking again. Im looking in to changing our Sunncamp 350 TT for a Conway Crusader or Pennine Pathfinder??. I think these are the two largest models & wonder if its possible to get them in to a standard garage? Any one had recent experience?

Our garage is 214cm and the crusader is 212cm so it's a tight fit and I need to make sure it's dead straight but it goes in

Why does it alway rain when I go camping?

We have a pathfinder which goes in our Wilcon built garage (not the largest ever built). As above you must get it in straight.

Nothing at all like an answer but just wanted to say Hi Simon. We got back safely and will be in touch with photos once the ironing is cleared. Hope every one is fine and that you enjoyed the holidays.

Speak soon - Fiona

We stored out Pathfinder in our garage - the only adjustment we had to make was to cut a little hole in the back wall of the garage to poke the hitch through as the Alko hitch made it about 4 inches too long!! Just make sure your garage door is wide enough.

We also had to have a Power Mover fitted to get it up the slope so Scampi could get it in with Little scamp if I was away.
