Hi,

We are going on our first trailer tent holiday in 3 weeks - through Germany, Switzerland and Italy - then back through France.  

We would be really grateful for any advice re:packing the trailer and back of the car - we have a Sunncamp 400SE which we bought second hand but in excellent condition with no instructions and a Nissan X-trail.

We put the whole thing up last summer - and all the canvas/beds etc have been stored in the airing cupboard over winter.

Do you leave the cabin inner tents and mattresses and the cabin canvas over the cabin frame to travel or do you take the canvas off? And is it easier to pack the awning into the cabin under the seats with the poles to travel and pack your clothes in the boot of the car?  Or should you have enough room to pack clothes under the seats too? We have a new ground sheet and portaloo.

And final basic question - sorry - for overnight stops you can just put up the cabin section I presume and leave the awning for longer stays?

Thanks very much for your help

 i might try to leave the awning on myself. would save a small amount of time.. thancks raceletcharlie,

as for the canvas and inners we set ares up first time and now just unclip inners when folding.

Thanks very much all of you! We are really excited to be going with the trailer tent - we usually hire a house but felt that the kids would enjoy this more!

Cheers

Steph
