They're not as easy to tow as you'd think. Yeah, they're not high sided, but they're heavier than they look.

My mate bought one last year, a dandy I think he called it. I don't think he has used it once and was looking to sell it.

We started with a frame tent, she didn't like sleeping on the floor, then a trailer tent, she didn't like the canvas flapping so we then moved to a caravan.
Caravans are best but parking, storage, servicing is a pain.
I prefered the trailer tent.
Now there is only two of us it's hotels

Well we have 4 kids and 3 adults so a caravan would be too small.

Looking to spend £300 max really, if we don't like it, sell it on.

I'd go for the caravan, a static one and just enjoy the drive there
