Hi,

When we used a trailer tent we pitched on hard standing most times (about 20 times), i would say the most important thing is you will probably need some good rock pegs and a decent hammer (lump hammer) as some hard standing are what they say HARD whilst others can be classed as hard but actually just have a decent gravel covering.

Also i would suggest a good thick ground covering & slippers or anything similar as stepping down on to the floor bare footed can be a bit uncomfortable also better for relaxing in.

If you take any pets and they sleep on the ground make sure they have extra bedding.  

Good luck, Dunc.

Thanks Dunc, that's really helpful. We have one of our children sleeping in the underbed area so was wondering if we needed anything other than thick mat for that area?  Do you need a groundsheet or will slippers do the job?  We love our TT and its the first outing for a couple of years so trying to make sure we think about everything!! :-)

Thx Gail

Hiya Gail,

Slippers will do it's just when you wake up in the middle of the night and  or cant find the slippers in the dark you will soon wake up when you step down on to the gravel, If no ground sheet try a bit of carpeting or mats where you step down and maybe towards the cooker so you can make that early morning cuppa in comfort.
