Petit is nice and dinky. However the drawback for us would be the lack of a ground sheet. Some sort of ground sheet would be necessary with a zip in ground sheet being a must for us to exclude draft and damp.

Eureka! I will soon be taking collection of a Cabanon Venus TT. Today and for the first time I thought I would search on Facebook and found one in good condition, not too far from me and at a reasonable price. I just need to locate a tow bar and electrics for my Renault 4 🇫🇷

Yes, I thought the same. Get up in the morning and walk around on the grass, so I preferred the Venus, bed well off the ground and the trailer to walk around on. So far, so good.

Hmm, I just need to locate a towbar for my 1986 Renault 4GTL so have placed an advert in the Wanted Section. Rare as hen's teeth. PS Why did the advert remove all of my upper case letters from my advert? I didn't type it like that. What do you take me for? ;-)

Latest news is that I located a towbar in Ireland which has been painted and fitted to the car and have just wired up the electrical socket but have found problems when connected to my old box trailer. Nearly solved then off to sunny Berkshire to collect my TT 😀

Problems with trailer socket wiring solved, my mistake. Cabanon Venus collected on Saturday and the Renault 4GTL managed pretty well at 55-60mph all the way back to Kent. Temp warning light kept flickering but I believe this is caused by an inaccurate sensor. Small tear in canvas to sort out and battery pretty knackered but the TT is in amazingly good condition. I'm looking forward to some weekends away. I wonder what the tyre pressures should be?

The Raclet has the pressure on a small plate above one of the tyres - not sir is the Cabannons fi the same? Otherwise try Mr Google or a Canannon dealer.

So, as a Newby, I have a few questions. Tell me about the two ring gas cooker. Would using it inside the TT be a big and risky no-no?

No, provided it is well ventilated. This is a subject that causes huge reactions both for and against. Be sensible use common sense and its not a problem.
