It must be the season for Cabanons!
Mine is to be a summer project, it needs a few repairs.
I was lucky to get this lovely old one from Vickynewby:

It is my treat to myself for selling the trailer tent.
Looking at it, it seems to be the same layout as the Andorra, with two bedroom pods, a back door and the kitchen at the back. I wonder if it is just an older version of it - anyone know what it may be called?
Will also be picking up a trailer on Saturday.
It is residing with my family in Bolton at the moment, so I haven't even seen it in the flesh yet. But as soon as we get back from Nantcol I will be collecting it and arranging a local camp to look it over. It is certainly too big to go in my garden!

Well done for getting my tent

Only joking, Hope you enjoy fixing it up. I never feel like something is mine till I've  fixed it up a bit. As I posted earlier, I had a quick play with mine this afternoon, and it's great.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

What a beautiful tent. Do you know what the extent of the repairs required are? If I hadn't just ordered my Guadeloupe I might have got a bit envious. Well actually I still am LOL

I know it needs a bit of patching and the mozzy netting replacing, as well as new clips to hold the inners up. Will probably benefit from new rubbers and springs as well. I have all the rubbers and clips already as we renewed them all on the TT and bought plenty of spares!
And I did quite a bit of stitching on the little Java frame tent (repairing the sun canopy and adding velcro to the window frames) so I figure this is just a step up from that one.
I'm honestly not sure if we will camp in it much, I love the Izmir too much. But I know how much we appreciated the space in the TT when the weather was bad so hopefully it will give us a bad weather option.
Apart from that I have always loved the look of those old Cabanons with the georgian style windows in the brown/green and cream colourway. This one looks a beauty already (although I think those orange flowers may need to go) - I just hope I can do it justice!
