There are many advantages and a few disadvantages to trailer tents and folding campers compared with other forms of camping.
These include:
There is a good network of specialist retailers around the country, many of whom advertise in Camping & Caravanning, the Club’s monthly magazine, selling new and secondhand. You’ll often see units advertised in the magazine’s private classifieds section too.
When buying previously-owned units privately, remember you won’t get any kind of warranty if anything goes wrong or if anything is subsequently deemed illegal – so be sure you know exactly what you’re getting for your money.
Look out also for displays of new trailer tents and folding campers at the larger specialist camping and caravanning shows taking place throughout the year.
