Would like to say i love it here spend far too much time lurking (reading the posts) and not enough time posting myself, SORRY

Can anyone help us with advice about a Conway Tardis, hard top folding camper, one is for sale near us and would like to upgrade from a tent.

Been to the conway owners web site and downloaded the manual for it, 6 berth built in 1987.

Any advice on what to look for in a pre-ownwed model is gratefully appreciated.





Thanks Mr & Mrs estwig

Yes, do join us in the Conway Owners Club.

I've got a Cardinal, 1995, which is the updated version of the Tardis.

You'll get loads of advice on the COC site but as a starter you should check that it winds up & down smoothly and easily and that the canvas is all sound. Also check that the floor at the corners is solid as sometimes if the "socks" have not been used in wet weather on the uprights, the water can get in and make the floor go rotten.

On the tardis look on the inside at the back of the winch (winder) and the pulleys in each of the corners.  Check the cables are running in the right part of the pulleys and that the cables are all equally tensioned.

hello mattyg

no unfortunately didn't get it, got some great advice from the conway owners club and the greneral conclusion was it is far too expensive at £1,350.00.

Phoned and politely asked the seller why it was so expensive, at which he became annoyed and the deal feel through.

Will keep looking, loved camping in the tent this summer, just want to make it a little easier.

So sorry to jump on your thread but I was unsure how to start my own. I was wondering if anyone can reassure me of the weight the pullout beds can take as I am expecting and am a bit nervous to sleep on them first time. We have another adult who needs to sleep in the middle otherwise I would be headed there... Lol... ☺️
