Folding Camper Advice

Conway are one of the most respected folding camper manufacturers.They have been making quality products for many years and have earned a good reputation from this. Their campers are very versatile and offer good value for the money. Strong and durable, they will give you years of faithful service. The present line up has four campers in the range, and they all have different specifications for every requirement you have.

First up is the Conway Continental which is the entry level camper. This is a six berth model. There are two large double beds and the table can be made into another bed. Despite this being the budget model, there are many features that come as standard, such as the double hob and grill and a stainles steel wash basin for cooking and cleaning. The styling is very modern and uses light coloured woods and more neutral fabrics for a clean crisp look.

There are two seating areas on both sides with two settees and a centre table for eating. The floor has a vinyl finish and enhances the overall style very well. The main cabin has a roof lining, and the two bedrooms have inner tents. There is also plenty of storage space, with lockers and a cupboard. The main canopy is a fabric design made from excellent materials that are very durable and thouroughly tested.

To make it easier to lift the beds this folding camper comes with gas assisted struts instead of the usual winding system. The trailer is just over 2 metres when folded and just over 4 metres long. You also get a spare wheel too as standard. There are other optional extras such as an awning with an extension, which is a very useful add on to create extra space and shade. An outdoor storage cover and a cycle rack are also available. The price for this camper is around £5500, but for the money it is a solid perfomer and is a big seller.

Next up is the Conway Countryman folding camper and this is a step up from the Continental. It has a larger standard specification and is a bit more luxurious as well. It sleeps 4 people with two double beds which are slightly bigger in size than the beds on the Continental camper. The kitchen facilities include the double hob and stainless sink, but it also has a fridge and and the kitchen unit has a side shelf. You also get 12v water supply and 12v sockets. There is a built in gas bottle storage area as well.

The whole interior has been updated and colour coordinated. The mattresses, seats, inner linings and the upholstery all match very well to give some real style to this camper trailer. The curtains also match and there are privacy curtains for the bedroom windows with tie backs. The roof lining extends the whole length of the cabin for even more style. Another useful feature of the Countryman is that it is narrower at 184cms so it is easier to tow behind your vehicle. It also has auto reverse brakes on the trailer and new rear lights for safety.

The prices start at about £7000 and there is also the awning option and bike rack. It costs more than the entry model camper, but you do get a lot more for the money. A very popular choice indeed.

The Conway Cruiser is a 6 berth camper and has a double bed and a king size bed. It has all the features of the Countryman and then some. The Cruiser is part of the new Platinum range and is made from acrylic, which has very good heat rentention but is also fully waterproof. It also gives much more durability than the canvas models, so this is built to last for many years.

This camper is both longer and wider than the others, so there is more room inside. There is a wrap around seat arrangement which adds some real class and style to the interior. The upholstery is all matched and well made. Full kitchen faciliites are standard with the cooker and fridge, and you have full mains electric with 2 sockets. There are also 12v sockets.

There is plenty of storage space with wardrobes and lockers for security. A full size table and an occasional table give you more freedom to eat and relax. Interior lights come as standard, as well as a heater. All in all the Cruiser is a more luxurious way to enjoy your holiday in every way. The prices reflect the workmanship and the specification, and you can expect to pay around £9500. You get a whole lot for the price, and it is not far off being caravan standard, but without the costs involved with owning one.

The Conway Crusader folding camper is the most expensive from the range and also the most luxurious. This takes your camping experience to another level. The interior is second to none, and it is very well put together. Everything matches pefectly and it is a real nice place to be.
