DH and I (and 3 kiddies) want to buy a day shelter.  I think we want the Sunncamp but want to see one in the flesh, so to speak.  As far as I can tell, Cotswold Outdoor don't stock it, and nor do "In Tents" in Swindon.  Are there any other retailers in driving distance that anyone knows of?

 

Thanks.

Try phoning BCH in Trowbridge. We used to live in Lyneham and its was half hours drive from there.

BCH camping have 3 shops Trowbridge,Bath and CHippenham. Its only the Trowbridge one that has tent displays and quite a few. Phone first though to see if they have the one your after on display.

I love this shop. They are so helpful and not pushy. I still go back there now even though we have moved.

Another good tent display place is Attwools on A38 on Gloucestershire/South Gloucestershire border. Quite a trip from Swindon but has even more tents on display and small play area for kids if you have them.  Obviosly try phoning first to check they have what you want.

Touchwoods have been bought out by Go Outdoors. I don't think that they do the Sunncamp Day Room because there wasn't one in their Coventry branch recently and it doesn't appear on their web site.
I did, however, see one erected the other day at Bucks Camping (midway between Buckingham and Milton Keynes), but I fear that it may be a bit far for you to travel.

Thank you!  So many camping shops. I fear the credit card may get some exercise in the next couple of weeks....

Not sure how close it is, but there is an exhibition on with lots of erected tents in Wokingham: http://www.campingcentreexhibitions.co.uk/html/location.html
