trailer tents

[96terrano]

looking towards getting one at some point

just wondering what to look out for eg problems with them

do they rot like caravans?



would be spending wee bit on one


can get good ones fairly cheap, and my Hyundai will be able to tow it easilly

canvas can rot like a tent.

trailers normaly need tlc as no one looks after them

look here too, maybe a 2berth caravan you could pull

Ryan, depending how much you have to spend on a trailer tent,you can get a bargain you probably need to see a few before buying one,it needs to be opened up to see if any rot, some people fold them away damp and rot set's in,the better ones have acrylic in them which prevents rot happening when folded damp. i moved up from tents to trailer tents and then to folding campers to caravans.trailer tens are light to pull and you can put your bikes on a frame which stradles the trailer and carry most of clothes and food etc in the lockers in the trailer and the best bit you sleep off the floor and there are some with a fridge across the A frame of the trailer for the IRN BRU.lol

not bad, i'll probably have max of £300 but can't predict the future:lol bike will be slung on their sides on the roof:thumb2 ideally a caravan would be good, but don't think i could afford one, also have to be careful of the towing waight with the Hyundai

I have seen and been in one of these excellent for the "trip of a lifetime" we talked about, ideal if Zenka was with you she could't escape if you take the ladder away.lol

Have you looked at a 'Dandy' T.T? No canvas to rot, solid sides windows & door, trailer sides sheet plastic & they have proper brakes. Well insulated as it is a 'semi-caravan'.
Unlikely to be cheap as they last forever & have a v. good name but at least you have every chance of getting a good one rather than a lot of hidden problems.

Q: What is the weight of the caravan & what cc engine could I tow it with?
A: Hi there. Weight is 535kg unladen. Any car over 1000cc should be capable of towing the van. Kind regards Gary
