Default So... Tell me about trailer tents......

Caravan idea is too expensive right now so looking at trailer tents.

They sleep 8, tow easily, are cheap.

Makes to avoid?

Makes to go for?
Conway?
Raclet?

Avoid any that are purchased as a result of fighting a pikey or in exchange for a 'dag'.

Don't do it; all the drawbacks of towing and storage without the benefits (such as they are) of a caravan.
