The answer seems to be that no-one really knows how the folding camper should properly be classified, and you are free to call it whatever best suits the circumstances - it can be a trailer tent if the site does not take caravans or a folding caravan if the site does not take tents!

It is not actually something that has ever caused me any problem, as all sites I have used so far have known exactly what the unit is, but I see from recent threads that it can be a problem with certain site owners.

Have lots of fun with your new Pathfinder!

hi torre if u have a nose about the message boards u will find i had the same problem last week we were told we had a trailer tent so we had to use the tenting feild and not the hard standing so we basically told them to shove there sight and we wont go there

jo and dave

On a site I say caravan to get best pitch etc, Tolls ferries etc a trailer. Use it to your advantage.

If on a site that charges extra for awnings, it is a trailer tent because their awning is considered part of the unit & doesn't attract an extra charge like a caravan awning. But if you want a hard standing then it is a caravan.

As David says, work it to your advantage!

Does an FC count as a trailer or a caravan.
