What to Think about Before you Buy a Trailer Tent

A trailer tent is a fantastic thing to have if you are looking for something that is part caravan and part tent. With the ability to sleep up off the ground it is great if you don’t fancy sleeping low down, and it also enables you to have that extra space by using an awning.

If you are looking to buy a trailer tent, there are lots of different sizes and styles out there so do some research first so that you have a good idea of what you want and what is within your budget, and also think about whether you will need to do any repairs if you are buying second hand – you can get trailer parts online easily from places like Auto and Trailer and it may be that you can do some repairs yourself if you are good with that sort of thing.

The other thing to consider when you are looking for a trailer tent is towing it. Your car will have a maximum weight that it can tow, which will be in the handbook for your car, so this is also something to think about when you are looking for a trailer tent that is suitable for your needs.

When it comes to towing it, it also is a good thing to become familiar with the highway code for towing vehicles – for example you must have a number plate attached that is clearly visible and when on a motorway of three or more lanes, you are not allowed to use the lane that is furthest to the right.
