Are we the only ones?

Welcome and as the others have said don't take any notice of the snobs.  There definitely are snobs out there but that's their problem!  Enjoy!

Welcome t'Club. I started in a tent, progressed to a frame tent which was carried around in a trailer towed by an Austin Metro before we made the leap to several older caravans and too had a slight feeling of unease among the big shiny monsters on Club sites! I stopped worrying very quickly but you do see the ones out there polishing their prides and joy! Forget 'em and enjoy the lifestyle. 

Interesting we have a shiny van and a new car and I find many members don't speak or make eye contact.  However it doesn't happen on CLs or the rally field. Nor on club sites in winter. I also find the members of the other club friendlier and see all sorts of habitations  on their sites. Enjoy your folder and be proud of it. 

Hi Jenni and welcome to CT. nothing wrong with your unit,we had 2 Pennine Pullman units when we started camping .the Pennine is a great unit and as some has mentioned is not a trailer tent but a folding camper.we loved them and had some wonderful trips away when the kids were younger. You should not be thinking about what people think of your unit .We are all doing the same thing in matters not what unit you have .If some one has a problem with that then it’s their problem not yours. Just go out and enjoy

Don't worry about the Snobs think Jenni.   Enjoy your holidays in your trailer tent.  You certainly chose a great campsite for your first trip.  One of the best scenic sites on the CC network.

Your sort of question gets aired every so often on here, but rest assured that it is only on here. In the real world, ie on site, no one will think or say anything about your outfit, and if they do it will always be positive.

It may not appear like it on here but people just get on with their own holidays and pitch, and as you have shown friendliness carries more weight than your outfit. 

As a former tenter, then trailer tenter, and now caravanner, it's great to hear from you.  It's true, there aren't as many trailer tenters around, but you are very welcome on Club sites.  We had many happy years holidaying in our TT., especially over in France and Germany.

Welcome from another member of the non-gleaming-new brigade! We've only moved from tents in the last 2 years, and love our tiny 2000  pop-top caravan, looking rather like a piece of Duplo between the big shiny ones. (Behind an 04 car, too!)

If anything, it occasionally starts nice conversations on account of its unusual character, and friendly conversations are something we've always associated with camp sites, hopefully you'll have many more of them with your trailer tent.

Have fun, and smile peacefully upon any who do look down their noses. And you can tow round tiny corners so much more easily too!

PS Bunree was our first C&MC site, last year in April, when the weather went between gorgeously sunny & rain belting in off the loch. It was great!

If you're going to make me a cuppa at 7.00am then you can pitch next to me in a teepee.(Skimmed milk, no sugar).

Lots of trailer tents 'over there' particularly amongst the Dutch and some of them (the trailers) are a wow!  If its OK I prefer coffee in the morning thanks
