When buying a new trailer tent you need to take into account some considerations. Obviously price is one of the most important factors when buying anything and this is no different for trailer tents. Budget normally makes the decision for you when thinking about buying a brand new model or a second hand trailer tent. Make the decision early of how far you can stretch your budget and then stick to it other wise you will be forever changing your mind and clarity of thought will not be particularly easy. If you are looking for a model that just sleeps 2 people then you may be able to find one for as little as £1500 new. If you want something that will sleep the whole family comfortably, an eight berth unit can cost around £8000.
There are however, other different factors that also need to be addressed. When you are not using your trailer tent do you have sufficient space to store it in a safe location with good access? One option that you could look at here is to purchase the optional extra of storage brackets that allow the trailer unit to be stored on its side in a safe manner, taking us less space. Another consideration is the size of trailer tent you want which largely depends on how many peopkle will be using it. The name for those in the know is ‘berth’.
So for example if you wish to sleep four people you may consider buying a four berth. personally, I would always get a larger model than I need just for added space, especially if there was little diferrence in price. Another way to add space to your trailer tent would be to get an awning that could be fitted on to the side of the tent and increase your living area that way. This again is added cost but the difference it can make, especially on longer holidays, is immeasurable. If you have never been camping in a trailer tent or in any other kind of tent it is probably wise to go and speak to your local dealership. They can offer advice on what model suits your needs best, show you how to erect one and even allow you to hire one for a test drive to see if it is the kind of purchase you would like to make. Some great brands to look out for are Conway, Raclet and Trigano Trailer Tents.
If it is, and I’m sure it will be, you will be able to spend some quality time in the great outdoors with your family, away from the bustle of everyday life.
