Hi all (again)

Thanks for the info on my last few posts.

Been camping for the last two years and now looking at a TT. Going tomorrow to view two. Need to know the benefits of an acrylic tt v standatd canvas.

Looking at a Sunncamp 400 SA in acrylic 2011
or
Sunncamp 400 SE normal canvas 2008

A guide to the right price to pay would also be a great help. Both are in excellent condition. Fully serviced.

Many thanks
Tony and Teresa

Can't help on prices,but the beauty of acrylic is you can do wet pack aways without panicking about the canvas going mouldy.

I had a 400se normal loved it to bits found it was heavy to pitch as we got older and always sweated on the weather for pack ups nowhere to dry it

From the research and talking to people before we bought our TT you have 24hrs at most to get a canvas TT open if packed away wet and 48hrs if acrylic - it will still go mouldy.

Also went for a canvas as cooler in the warm weather and breathable in the wet weather!
