Penrhos Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 My T2 is in a state where it may not get to it's 4th Glasto... So my only options are to car/camp and ditch the CV ticket. Or fit a tow-bar to the small car I have and take a trailer-tent, folding caravan or micro/small caravan or Pod/teardrop caravan. Do they allow trailer-tents or pods in the CV fields as that would be the cheapest option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stave_1974 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yes, trailer tents are allowed, with your tow-car.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosj Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Trailer tents are OK, @whisty has/had one I think. What are the tear drop caravans like inside? What parts fold out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I had a trailer tent for years - possibly the best festival accommodation I've had. Used to fold down to next to nothing and was stored in mother in law's garage. When you put the awning up and then the extension to the awning you have a great social area. Very light and easy to tow and pretty cheap to pick up second hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penrhos Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Result - there's a couple for sale within 30 miles for less than £500 - the T2 looks like it'll need more than double that spending on welding, track-rod ends, carbs, exhaust....And then I'll need to tax / insure it too...

There's a couple of trailer tents for sale for < £500. My 78 T2 needs new exhaust, welding on engine bay (battery tray), new ball joints & bearings on front suspension, carb rebuild, servicing - just to get through MOT, then I'll need to tax it - so £1000 at least.

Upside down frowner Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 We took ours, light weight and easy tow. Ok double beds and massive social area in awning... intact I had a one man tent inside the awning and still loads of room for 6 people to site and leave gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
