Just read about this in a blog on the net! Having owned the famous Daily Mirror sailing dinghy I am very interested looking at a set of plans for the TT, first built in 1968 and designed by Barry Bucknall !
Has anyone any more info or ideally a set of plans.I can feel a winter project happening.

Ok! That did not work! i will try another tack. Does anyone know where I can get second hand bed support poles/legs. the adjustable type.That will help me start to make a simple trailer tent myself. I have a small trailer 5ft x 4ft, also looking for a cheap dome tent either 8ft x 5ft or 7ft x 5ft which I can attach to a folding plyboard.

Hi mike. Just joined as I was looking for others. I've just bought one of these and needs a little TLC but is pretty amazing for the age. Happy to share pics of it etc but no plans. Appreciate any advice too!

Only 5 years too late, but I have a Mirror trailer tent from 1968 that I no longer use. Are you interested in it for a donation to charity?

Hi Chris, do you still have it? I have some family history with Mirror trailer tents, my father helped Barry Bucknell design it and he put it into limited production.
