When booking a camping holiday, does the living area of a trailer tent class as an awning, and therefore incur extra charges, or is it just part of the tent itself?
As far as I know the living part of the TT (AKA the awning) is just part of the tent. It isn't, IMHO, any different from a large family ridge tent. I suppose it is down to the site owners, but every time I have booked up when using a TT I have told them what I have.
I think most sites recognise a tt as being the whole thing, after all, you can't really use a tt without putting the awning on, unless you want to cook and live outside all the time. We just used to say we had a tt and we never got asked about an awning, so certainly no problems here.

Hi Done a lot of camping with different size tents. Most sites class tents as small medium or large. When youn book just tell them what you have. Then they give you a price and then know where to put you..
Some of them look at whether your trailer tent and awning are attached ,best thing to do if it not just zip your awning on before you go and tell them its all in one unit
Well you can't call an FC a convertible caravan (Pennine look out), and not expect awning classification, as with caravans.
TTs are trailer tents, not tent + awning, never had any issue with awning definitions in my 30 years of TT camping, all with detachable 'awning' section.
That's the great thing about tt's :) You just tell the site owner that its a tt and thats it :) no worries about paying for a much needed awning as its classed as being part of the whole :)
