You'll have to excuse me as I'm new around here!!!
In a previous life, I used to go backpacking (saunders spacepacker / vango hurricane alpha) but you get older, families arrive and it all changes! Well, temporarily at least! So now we're looking at trailer tents (my parents used to have a Conway Cornishe when I was growing up). The Cabanon Stratos looks very nice but expensive, and then I found a 2002 Pennine Apollo folding camper for sale with all the bits, but I can't find any information or reviews on it.
Are Pennine any good? Is the Apollo similar to the Fiesta? Help!!!
The Apollo is a new concept in folding camper design. It is the most compact of the Pennine folding camper range and offers superb accommodation with real versatility. It combines the maximum of interior space and cupboard storage within a very compact and easy to tow trailer.
It can comfortably sleep 4 people by converting the bed settee into a double bed for night time use. The camper has a fitted carpet with a removable door mat and mat well. The interior fabrics are tastefully co-ordinated and complimented by maple wood grain furniture with black trimmed fine-line doors.
The Apollo offers suprisingly spacious accommodation and a high level of comfort. The versatile optional awning offers increased living area and zip on underbed skirts are available to give extra space when the occasion demands.

Thanks Lisa and Jan. That's brill, thanks a lot for your advice! Coming into this cold it's really helpful that people are willing to share their knowledge.
I had a Pennine Aztec which was I think its predecessor, went up nice and easy and very comfy, if you get one with mains electric then even better as it saves threading the ehu mobile unit through the unit and 3 way fridges are easy to come by too whether used or new. Its basically the same more or less as the Conway Challenger..
