Very basic - Just an L shaped seating area and homemade clip-on table for the day, and a full 6ft x4ft sleeping area for night. It was made simply to avoid a tent, and as a bit of fun to match the car, just for use at car shows.

I've been meaning to do it for a while, but it was only this weekend that the weather was really good enough for a proper tent airing session!

Had to carry out a few repairs to my original Quecha, but it's survived 6 years worth of events, car shows, and festivals!

It was recently replaced this year with something a bit bigger. Now plenty of room for just me, and gear, with the porch for shoes, chair, and the coolbox fits in nicely smile

On the left an original '2' man 2 seconds I and on the right a '3' man 2 seconds III.



The main reason for the liking of pop ups! (Well aside from the smug factor when pitching!)



Car packed for a weekend at Blyton Park a few weeks ago! smile

Was in a rush when I posted that so just to give a bit more info, Lovely site, can pitch right next to the lake which is cool. Quite a big site with decent fascilitys. Did get quite busy over the weekend, we got there at about 7:45 and all lake side space was taken but inlaws got there midday and was very quiet so set up for us.

You can walk from site to poole bridge in about 15 min along the lake side, then choice of a few pups/cafe.

Would certanly recomend it.

That is one sweet looking MH.

Looks like it must have set you back a pretty penny or two.

Nice
