| I wonder if any members have experience of the Mini-Mate trailer-tent. I've been watching the videos for ages and am tempted to buy one and have it shipped over. I've had many years of camping, not least in a couple of very good trailer tents, and feel the need to get out-and-about under canvas again before it's too late. The Min-Mate is obviously easily managed by one person and I'd tow it behind my Berlingo, not the Forza.
Here's one of many Youtube videos of the camper:

| Thanks Mike, that's sent me down an Internet rabbit hole looking at trailer tents . I remember a mate of mine having a two birth trailer tent a few years back. It was quite an ingenious contraption that provided the space of a small caravan, was easy to tow, relatively easy to put up and fold away. He liked the fact he could easily stand up to get dressed, cook etc but eventually decided it was too cold (well his other half decided that) and as he couldn't tow it on with the bike he might as well have a caravan. Let me know how it works out, I'm always up for taking my tent somewhere. |

| Thanks, Steve. My then-partner and I visited Sidmouth Folk Festival for twenty years or so and had a Combi-Camp in the first place then bought a Dandy Delta - vastly superior although the former was very good. I did erect it a few times on my own but it would be too much for me now. I have been in touch with the suppliers of the Mini-Mate and been appraised of a shipping company they use but haven't followed it up because of 'events' this year. I will post developments here. I hope you're on the mend. |

| That is very cool, Mike. Not sure if I want to get back into "camping" but that would be the ticket! |

| Thanks, Glenn. There's so much 'Back to Nature' countryside within an hour's drive with little or no light-pollution I will be able to star-gaze to my heart's content. |
