Well, This was the dilemma. Wanted a camper, proven canvas or the all new acrylic. Many many views on all this. So as this a site for all to share their view. Here goes!
I purchased a 2009 Conway Crusader in Nov 09. Worried sick over Xmas and new year about damp issues as stored outside.
My Verdict, All fine, no issues, bone dry.
First outing 4 nights.
Worried about condensation. No issues at all, Acrylic so far was so good.
Packing away. After a nights rain, few shakes, sides were dry. Mop up a few spots of water on the roof part when folding down.
You can really pack away in 15 minutes, and I'm a camping newbie.
Oh the family:- 2 Adults, 2 Children (3 & 6)
So my verdict: Go Acrylic, no condensation issues, get electric hookup. Heater in use overnight (it was Easter!)
Yes would be nice to go acrylic....but a bit of a price hike from my 1999 Crusader!!...Anyway it's not so much hassle if it's wet when packing up. Just put it up at home on a dry sunny afternoon and Hey Presto...dry again. Never had a problem in this area...and just a wee bit cheaper than a 2009 model!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
