 For all of you more experienced than me, what do you think of this? I haven't got a lot of money and it is local.

I wouldn't say I was experienced but I have looked at a few old trailer tents. I do think that they've been honest about the faults and its good to see a photo of it in use too. Is it big enough for your needs? There's no mention of a kitchen - might be worth asking about that. As its local to you perhaps you could ask to view it? It seems to be a fair price,

I would definately ask to view, to check if any TLC needed is within your capabilities, though time is a bit tight.  He has decent feedback.  Also its one of the quick erect type which is handy.  If it stays at £150 its a decent price to pay to see how you get on.  If its not what you expected, you wouldnt lose alot, if anything at all.

Looks reasonably honest - and cheap!

As long as your expectations aren't too high I think it loks a reasonable buy.

looks a good buy, our first was a 1984 conway well used and we paid £200 spent about £100 doing up used it 3 times and the sold it very easily for £260 i would go as far as you can afford and then use this site for any info on repairs, they are all quit easy, give it a summer and if you can afford it you will upgrade next year

It was exactly how it had been described. Had a good look round with a list of what to look for. There were no nasty niffs, so it arrived today. Just before 3 gears on my car went AWOL!!!!

I hope you get the car sorted sharpish so you can get out there and enjoy your new purchase.  I reckon you'll be bit by the bug after weekend 1.  Have fantastic fun.
