Hi all,

I'm new to this site so please be gentle.  I'm seriously considering buying a folding camper, however I'm finding in Cornwall there are very few companies selling them.

I'm looking for a 6 birth with just a fridge, hob and ability to hook it up to electric, I'm looking to spend around £1500-£2000, where would be a good place to look?

Penrose in Truro has nothing at the moment and I'm struggling to find places in Exeter/Devon.

Any help would be excellent, many thanks.

not sure where else there is local to you but just another!! hour up the motorwayfrom exeter, highbridge caravans have a selection, check their website for things they may have, it is constantly changing each week with stuff they have there[BURNHAM/WESTON SUPER MARE exit on the M5] then having just re-read your post the likeleyhood of getting a unit from there at your budget would be low maybe look on this sites "for sale" section, gumtree or local adtrader /freeads and then [to some ] the dreaded ebay!!

Or you could say the £2000 private could be up to £3500 dealer thats why they dont deal with that end of the market

if you are considering going up to Highbridge then Somerset caravans is on the way there and they sometimes have FC's they have taken in part exchange. Worth a look.

Excellent thanks for the advice. I'll keep a look out privately I think because of the old budget.
