I have seen pictures of a Conway Clubman which has a hard top. Does this make the problem of drying out much less of an issue ??

The reason I ask is that we (me and wife) are having a hard time deciding between Pennine/Conway and Dandy. (canvas v plastic).

The main thing for us is that we want to use whichever folding camper we get all year round so it will have to be packed away wet sometimes.
I am concerned that in the "wet months" it could be as long as a couple of weeks before we get a day which is good enough to unpack and dry out.

Would appreciate your thoughts / experiences.

Steve

If you have no where to dry out in winter then I would personally go for the dandy they also have the advantage of insulation between the plast sheets for winter camping main problem for me is the plastic smell especially in hot sun

It doesn't really make much difference as the bed pods and the walls of the camper still need to be dried and they take as long as the top.

Even in the depths of winter there are usually odd dry days but you need to be at home to put it up and take it down. I had a problem with my Combi-Camp last December because the days are short and even if a fine day comes and you put it up in the morning, by the time I finished work and came home the night had come so it was getting damp again. It was up for 5 weeks altogether before I managed to get a dry day on a weekend.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
