Have just, after a lot of thought, bought a 2nd hand Trailer Tent. We are still keeping our tents and will use them.
Because we want to do quick week-end trips and most of our stuff is in the loft it will be a lot easier (apparently) to just up, off and away.
Just had our first night in the Trailer Tent and it worked well although it was very cold. We had no instructions per say and took our time to get it right - it's the same but sorta different. The poles are connected springs - a little different to Outwell poles - and are semi connected in various configurations
We used all the add ons, so we had a clear view and idea of the trailer and it was, to say the least, a little complicated. But taking it steady, having a couple of breaks, 4 hours(!) later it was complete. Next time it certainly won't take that long!!
It has loads of space - too much - so we know now what to take and when. Missed the SIG - as it was cold you could feel the draughts - something to sort.
Took pen and paper and noted things down that we need - take a stool is one (OH is not 7') - so all in hand. I think once we're sorted OH may be right and we can up and away if the sun comes out.
So, have we gone to the dark side - we are under canvas and it is a Cabanon.
