we have a 1984 gobur carousel which we are very pleased with, there is no damp in it whatsoever.

i can erect it on my own in under 5 mins'

they make 10ft and 12 ft models with toilet compartments and 3 to 4 berth without.

they are pricey new but you can get them used on this site reasonable from time to time.

gobur also have used units available all year round try the link below

http://www.goburcaravans.co.uk/

hope this helps

regards

John

I have just bought a eurovent sancerre for mine size b fits perfectly the awning size for the 12ft models is 720 cm

I may have my old gobur awning up for sale shortly it has a bedroom annexe built in on one end and a toilet annexe at the other  ( i use this for storage)

hope this helps ps if you go to gobur website click on new carousels then technical specifications it gives the awning  size for all the models

Hi John

Is your old awning for a 12ft Gobur? If so I would be interested in buying it from you if you decide to sell.

Have you thought about a Pop Up rather than a Folding?

Our Pop-up will fit inside a normal lock-up and it is British designed and built.

See;- 
http://www.btinternet.com/~wheelhome/page6.html
http://www.btinternet.com/~wheelhome/page7.html

The first page has a Video link on the bottom left hand marked, "Sky TV Caravan Channel".

We bought our Sprintaway last year and are over the moon with it. It comes complete with awning and motor movers.
