There are a lot on ebay at the moment, i've been watching quite a few, but the prices do rocket right at the end. Still got my eye on the Trigano which ends today, but I'm guessing that price will rocket too.

There is also a Sunncamp one, but that's in Cornwall - i'd have to book a holiday there next week in order to pick it up lol.

It's always worth a long day trip to collect, don't let distance put you off... I've travelled to both South Wales and Bristol for an ebay win that was worth collecting...

I know, but, that would be around 450 miles round trip, which would cost around £75 in petrol - would have to be a good saving on the cost of purchase to warrant that.

Watched 2 go on ebay yesterday for double what they had been an about an hour before - out of our budget

I'm selling my tt if you're still looking. It's a 1991 Conway Ascot DL. Two fold out beds and an underbed inner too. Good kitchen unit with gas bottle and regulator. inbuilt electris with RCD and 2 3 pin plug sockets built into the trailer with 25m hook-up. Good condition for age but needs a little tlc with regard to replacing rubbers(have spares but haven't attached them) Tyres were new 2 years ago and have done around 2000 miles. Spare has never been used. Canvas in good condition and was fabsiled 2 years ago. We used it over the bank holiday weekend and can vouch for its waterproofness! It has a sun canopy which has a few rips where it attaches due to high winds but it still functions well. I'm happy to let it go for £100 so it may be worth a punt to test out if you like tt's.

I am DEFINITELY interested in this. Where are you ?, I'm in Cheshire.

You say there is a sun canopy but just wanted to double check there is an awning too as we really need one of those.

Thanks for replying, i'm excited to learn more

I'm in Oldham, Lancs. Yes there is a 4x2.5m awning. The sun canopy attaches to this. Where abouts in Cheshire are you?

I've yet to arrange a tow bar but I do have someone that will fit one for me.
