Have a good long trawl through this forum,and think about how you will use it. Weekends,long trips,UK or Europe,and of course,how many berths. Once you have done all that,buy a Camplet!  Seriously,we need more info!

All depends on a few important points. How people ?, for longer or shorter trips, do want it to last ? Does it need to e one that you can put up quick ?

YouTube has many videos of all the different types, just remember that the manufacturers times on there are edited.

If you live near manchester then Camperlands has a very good display of all units, near Birmingham then Black Country Caravans. There are a few others like Atwools, Burcroft Camping.

I woulD definatly make a list of what is important to you, sit in your garden and imagine what your requirements would be if you were camping at that point.

I would recommend a Trigano unit, but then I would as I am my second unit in 8 years, every one has their favourites for there own reasons.

Best regards,

Tony.

Depends on what you want to use it for .
What are you used to / tent/ caravan
Do you have health problems ?
Do you have kids?
How long and how often are you planning to go away for.
Do you have storage space?

I have a Sunncamp 350se 2004 , brilliant unit but too big for the 2 of us so it has to go.Massive amount of room in the awning with a full kitchen and a toilet room

This was the most comfortable and enjoyable type of camping I have ever had . dry as a bone in the worst weather.
It can be tipping it down outside but you are warm dry and cosy and the sleeping area , off the ground is pure luxury.

And ... sorry if you are .... but, are you clear about the difference between a Trailer Tent and a Folding Camper?
