Welcome to the world of Glamping.

Give us some details of your FC;- Model, Date, etc and I am sure that this helpful section will give you lots of good tips.

Hi farrer I had a 2003 fiesta until august last year when I changed it to a pullman, nice bit of kit very simple to erect and take down, enjoy.

THIS video will show you the assembly for the Fiesta.

THIS video is a generic one showing the main points about gas, electrics and water for Pennine FC's.

LOL....thats exactly how we felt when we bought our fc a month ago. We finally got away in her last weekend (for the 1st of many adventures) in all that rain and flood water and I can honestly say iv never had such a fantastic time in my life. My 6 yr old son and husband couldnt believe I wasnt winging because my hair was getting wet!! lol

Got a week booked away in aug......eeek cant wait.

The only thing il say is that I worried all the time about how we were going to get her dry?? Luckily the sun came out the morning when we were leaving and the whole camper and awning was dry within an hr to hr and half!!

Happy camping, let us know how you get on.

Well it managed to stay dry after nursery and she loved it playing house and so easy to put up and down compared to the tent.  Got all the curtains washing just to freshen them eee lets hope I remember where they go!!! Got 2 weekends booked already I can't wait... have a great week.

Thanks for all the advice its really great.

The OP here considers he has "upgraded" from a tent to a folding camper, but we "upgraded" from a 2007 custom built caravan to a 2007 Folding Camper.

At least, to us it was an upgrade although I suppose some caravanners would not agree.

But just getting real interior sprung matteresses, beds that were always made up, but did not impinge into our living space, a full cooker with an oven, all luxuries compared to what we had.

Oh and a unit that is not going to depreciate by 7 thousand quid in 3 years.

Whilst folding campers have many other advantages, some of which you will only find through using them, I just know that those who have recently bought their FC's are in for good times ahead.

We just wish we had travelled this road 20 years ago instead of 2.

Still, its never too late to learn.
