mayblossom Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thanks Mike it's being traded in next Friday for a small 2 berth van ! Just couldn't cope with not having an onboard loo, hubby got fed up nipping out in the middle of the night, toilet tent dripping with condensation every morning, creepy crawlies sitting there looking at you . ..and quite an experience getting out of bed in the morning, gave me a few laughs watching hubby and so cold too . .never mind, we gave it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobloseven Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Don't some folding campers have a toilet compartment with a cassette toilet and washbasin?We always have a look at the shows,but they seem to cost almost as much as caravans and take up almost as much space.

Some do have a toilet and washbasin but ours didn't as they take up a fair bit of room and are not exactly private the larger ones are ok but we went for the Conway Countryman as it fitted easily into the garage, the Fiesta, which has the loo, was very tiny and the side wall was a bit wobbly. ..also had a plastic see through window on one side! Apart from that they are lovely and is luxury camping but basically still a tent. .....and a cold one at that. Seemed a good idea at the time. .hehe Welcome back to the fold Thanks John, hope you're keeping well x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheasant Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We met a youngish couple a few years ago who had an Eldis motor home, saw them few months later,a six wheel Hobby,bit later they had a brand new Hobby,bit later in Spain it was new car,new caravan,next year it was a new Auto trail,motor home. Lost touch then. Also during this short time,approx five years, they bought new Smart car on trailer,reversed,damaged it,bought new Picantto on new A frame,couldn't get on with it,sold! In addition they bought several awnings,we bought one,and god knows what else,couldn't just get it right! Or more money than sense! May blossom,you have a long way to go! Just keep going,ha,ha!

Hehe x So pleased Mike us becoming 'normal' We are definitely sticking with the Isabella and never buying another awning or caravan ever again! With 4 different types of holiday accommodation in as many months I can't be doing with it!! Welcome home!
