A bit of advice on soft floor camper trailers

Gday Kim,

Yeh ...I know what you mean. they're bloody heavy hey.

I get the Mrs. to do mine!

Cheers

Sounds like a rubic cube. I've often wondered how one person manages with campers etc. Saw one chap with what appeared to be a small hand winch to take his "lid" up but didn't have time to grill him. Have only ever seen families etc with the Kimberly etc. Frankly, after driving all day the last thing I want to do is fiddle around with a tent of any description. I just want to fall into one already made up. (But there aren't many motels out there).
If accidently driving after dark (couldnt find anywhere to stop/wanted to get into town etc) I've been known to kip in the drivers seat. Uncomfortable but beats competing with the ants and mozzies etc on the ground.

I just use a broom.

Put it head of the broom under the hoops, push up, and the handle rests on the trailer..
Piece of cake, and the camper pops like a brollie

Cheers

Kim,
It cant be too hard!!! I've never heard her complain about it before, I must watch next time and see what the fuss is all about if any.

i leave a window 'open'.
makes a lot of difference opening the tent. (and closing)

Swap for a hard floor with a winch/wench to wind it back in when packing up ,lol.

Ours has a set of gas struts inside of the tent on the bows, makes it very easy to put up, don't even have to get the Boss to do it, just have to make her peg it down and put the awning up hahahaha
Cheers Bruce.

Glad it worked for you Kim.
The idea wasn't mine, it came from the
www.campertrailers.org forum, another valuable web site. Check out their tech tips page for all sorts of helpful stuff.

cheers
