Have been looking at these and wondering if anyone on Mumsnet has any experience of them.
Ease of towing
What car do you tow with?
How practical?
Bathroom ok?
How essential is awning?
Worth the money?
Thanks

There are several video reviews on YouTube.

Just watched one comparing small caravans. They came out top!

They look really cute and we just spoke to a couple on the touring park we are on who have one. They are light. You need to look at MTPLM and nose weight. If you go on Towsure or similar then you will find a matching service.

Hello
My mum purchased one last December. Due to the lockdown she has used it once.
She has been caravanning for 23 years. She has gone from a small 2 berth to biggest one you can tow, then a Motorhome. Then a vw transporter. She had the transporter for three years. They are 70 and decided they wanted to go back to a toilet.
So the four days they have used it they said it’s like luxury. It has a lovely bathroom. And lights everywhere. As well as beautiful big windows.
They have bikes so the anchoring system to travel with the bikes is great.
Towing is a dream. They did swap the car to a bmw and my dad says it is so simple to tow.
My mum said it’s a real head turner and everyone in the site were looking .

Thank you for these comments. Really helpful
Think we might bite the bullet. It just all looks so practical. Everything we need and no more. Also have bikes.

It was the ability to easily carry bikes and things inside that attracted me.
