The Benefits of Buying a Pennine Folding Camper

In this current economic climate, one type of leisure vehicle that has grown significantly in popularity is the folding camper. Shield Total Insurance, one of the UK’s leading providers of trailer tent and folding camper insurance, provide an insight into the benefits of owning a folding camper such as the Pennine Conway Crusader.

Firstly the obvious advantages, the folding camper is both light and ease to tow, with no major worries about height restrictions or side winds on open stretches of road. It fits in most driveways and domestic garages making it ideal for storage. In these times of smaller car purchase due to running expenses, the folding camper comes into its own. With a maximum gross weight of circa 1,000kg it gives most small car owners the opportunity to own one without changing their car. It can be as luxurious as you want it to be, from basic fold-out sides (with small kitchen unit) to a folder that resembles a touring caravan in many ways.

One of Europe’s leading manufacturer of folding campers, Pennine, were originally connected with caravan manufacture before they began building folding campers and put the name Conway to them. With a successful range of units, the company has gone from strength to strength.

The Conway Crusader (which the Pennine Group have interestingly named a “convertible caravan”) offers a great compromise between a caravan and folding tent trailer. It is smart-looking and easy to tow for most small family cars. The unit takes around ten minutes to set up (less when you have got to grips with the operation). The Crusader is not cheap to buy, but re-sale values do hold well. Inside, the spacious interior will sell it to many and the quality of the furniture also looks good. Add an awning and you can double the size of an already impressive living space. We liked its impressive build, spec and quality of the exterior. Alloy wheels, stabiliser and an Al-Ko chassis ensures a sturdy undergear. If you’re after the outdoor lifestyle and freedom holidays, yet don’t want a caravan or trailer tent, then the Conway Crusader will be a clear choice for many.
