I have some exciting sneak preview pics of the new TTs on show at the codicote tent show starting on Saturday.
To make them easier to view I shall post each tent in an individual post. Happy drooling!

OK, so first up is the new Raclet Armada. It's essentially the Flores but without kitchen and with a ZIG and a sexy new hooped awning - but in a "best of both worlds" scenario, the hooped awning will stand up on its own so you don't have to faff with guy ropes!
The front looks like this:
The next 2 pics show you the light and airy interior and ZIG:
Then this one is of the trad/non trad awning frame:
Then a couple of the interior. The beds are 4 foot wide but with an extra foot of cushion making a really good 5 foot wide bed.
Finally one of the exterior again. This is a right cracker of a tent!
Right. Solena next. This one has been around a couple of years now and just has a colour update - and some new, rather better engineered adjustable poles. This tent also has an awning, not shown, on the front.
Note how this is like a baby Combi-Camp. It also now has gas struts to open the lid and gas struts to lift the bed up and access the storage underneath.
Note the big and sexy kitchen, with plenty of space between gas burners, the sink which comes with a battery box and pump, with microswitch tap, and the ultra-strong aluminium awning frame which will stand up to gales easily.
Next up is the brand new Raclet Moovea. This is conceptually a bit like the Solena, only it has no hard floor to swing over. Instead you pull the canvas over like a smaller version of a Camp-Let, and it all extends out sideways making it bigger than a Solena.
This model has no awning (although there is one available which pretty much doubles the space). Even without that, however, I reckon this a really good tent for a couple. Compact, uber fast to erect and with plenty of storage under the bed. Good stuff!
This is the 2010 Quickstop. Think of this as a Pennine Fiesta brought up to date, with ZIG, hooped awning, and a kitchen which can stand in the awning on its legs if wanted or sit inside as shown. Also available are bedskirts and under-bed tents.
Nice pics! - still got our trusty Raclet Tamaris.. I know that it's not the same standard as pennine, but apart from some teething problems when we first got it as ex-demo from Raclet's camping exhibition it's been fine!(Don't know if you remember, but you helped me out at the time with some electric problems! :-)
It's stood up to some torrential rain storms, including a cracking thunderstorm in Holland last year! - and were off to France in August for 2 weeks in it, plus loads of long weekends here and there! - so were certainly getting our moneys worth out of it!!
as a value for money folding camper - I can't fault it!
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.
