I love the fact that we have a huge 8 berth tent that fits on most pitches :) We'd never fit on a pitch in a similar berth tent. I love sleeping off the ground without damp or sagging-overnight, beds :) The kitchen is heavy but once it's in place we have a good storage/kitchen without losing loads of room in the awning space. The other advantage of a tt is that it doesn't have a sig so we can go on hard standing if we choose, and we prefer to :)
When ours is all set up with the double awning and sun canopy we get a lot of admiration ;)
I love the versatility of my FC. We store everything on it, but if we are only going away for a weekend, most of it just stays in its storage space, so 15 minutes to set up and an off the floor warm and comfy bed and i still have canvas above me. For longer stays the awning is very easy to put up and I have space for everything to be tidy and organised (my camper is always MUCH tidier than my house!) Room for all my creature comforts, microwave, toaster, whistling kettle, not having to traipse to do the washing up or go to the loo in the pouring rain. I too, prefer hardstandings but enjoy having a choice.
When it's all set up it looks like a little house and is all warm and cosy inside if the weather is vile, but it can all be opened up for fresh air to flow through when that strange yellow thing appears in the sky...
I should just have said everything, really!
------------- August - Carsington Water CC Site. Don't know where else yet - only picking up the caravan on Friday!
Sturdy in the worst weather, comfy beds, quick to put up, top quality canvas, attached kitchen with electric tap, easy to tow, 'wardrobe' for hanging clothes, great storage facilities, plenty of room yet cosy at night.......
I could go on. One downside!! My wife now has a condition where she has to avoid sunlight (even when it's cloudy!?) so camping isn't for us any more and we're having to sell our Camplet. Absolutely gutted (on two counts!)
Our reasons are pretty much the same as the other posts.
As we had previously been tent campers, we decided on a TT without kitchen, as we already had all the equipment we needed. Also means that the trailer is much lighter, especially important for us as we only have a 1.2 litre car.
We have just bought a cabanon mistral tt our first. we had enough of the tiredness of dragging all the camping stuff out of the loft then trying to fit all the car and then after a very wet week away in june half term we went and bought out first tt.
like the fact that you can store evrything in the trailer then just put clothes and pillows in car then off you go.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
