Friends have asked if we would like to buy their trailer tent...we went camping last year in a crappy tent...and theirs looked good when they had it up for the kids last summer...they asked £150 and I said I was interested but would check with DH before commiting.

It's in good condition etc...are they hard to store? What else should I consider before buying it?

Thank you!

Very good value unless it is a 1960' model!

Parents had one and it was stored in the garage. You can buy a rack to store it on its side so it takes up less room

Don't know about storing it with no garage though!

What make?

Oh I don't know what make...I will find out. don't think its 60s! It looks kind of modern-ish.

Wehave a garage...DH will geta rack if needed...thanks for he advice!

That is well worth it! If you have somewhere to store it, I would def go for it!

chipmonkey · 28/01/2011 19:03

Modernish and with somewhere to store? Deffo go for it, they are around 3000 new!

We bought a 5 year old one for £800.

What make and model? There's always loads on eBay.

Def much better than a tent.

unless its a crappy make or is mouldy/damp then go for it.

Do you have a trailer tent, Lisa or am I thinking of another MNer?

lisad123isasnuttyasaboxoffrogs · 28/01/2011 23:26

I did, I now have a folding camper, I didnt like having to always set up awning with trailer tent, especially when my LO is young and runs off alot!

chipmonkey · 28/01/2011 23:43
