we got an old(92)conway canterbury trailer tent a few weeks ago,and have been wanting to try it out before we go away in september.Well we decided to put it up in our garden last night,WOW,HOW EASY IT WAS.all the poles are connected to each other.only thing we got wrong was the small awning,we put it up the wrong way round,thought it looked funny at the time,but sorted it.We had a new raclet quickstop 3 years ago,which was a nightmare to put up,and questionable quality.sold it at a great loss within 15 months.
can't believe the difference between 2 different trailers.the raclet cost us £3500,the conway £350,and it is by far a better quality item.
i have a canterbury and last friday it took me one and a half hours to put it up i also had to replace all the elastic bands around the bottom, put little wooden square's under the bed legs i did on the side we slept but not on the other and all that was on their was clothes and our oven and fire but the leg sank into the ground as it rained all day sunday i am also off again this sunday down to helston in cornwall.
its nice to see someone else with a canterbury it is a great tt enjoy your holiday their's plenty of room in them
