THE TWILIGHT OF TRAILER TENTS

What  I want a trailer tent for?

If I am thinking in buying a trailer tent, there must be some reasons for that.

1) First of all I want to have a quite large space to use as a temporary home when I am travelling with my car, van, or camper (whatever that is what I have).

2) Having a totally portable home, occupying a reduced space.

3) Being able to transport it easily thanks to its low weight.



4) Being able to assemble it in a short period of time, in order to enjoy it as soon as possible.

5) Being able to package it easily, so I can have it ready for next use.

6) Finally, having all that, at a reasonable price.

If we agree these are valid reasons to buy a trailer tent, then what we should do is to examine each one of them in order to check a trailer tent is the right answer to these challenges.

Let's check then all these reasons one by one:

1) If I am looking for space, then maybe it could be better to think of a tent, one which can offer me space enough; there are a few choices in the market.

2) A trailer tent do not seem the best answer to this need, because, even being it portable and can be placed at chosen site, I have to carry a towing all along my travel. It is not so comfortable to drive with a towing joined to my vehicle, particularly when trying to find a parking place, while driving on a winding road, going up or down mountains or near the sea shore, and is an added cost if I am taking the ferry, for instance. In addition, I need a place to park it at home. And a special driving license!

3) Most of tent trailes weight more around 500 kg or more, this is not really low weight, I have the extra cost of fuel to be able to move the trailer on the road, and it is not so easy to move when I am trying to place it on the site I have chosen and already have separated it from my vehicle. I can asure you I can find many tents much more lighter than a trailer tent.

4) Not all the tents are easy to assembly and many of them cannot be assembled in few minutes, that could be an advantage for a trailer tent, but, what if I can find a tent much more easier to assembly than a trailer tent, that allows me to enjoy 18 sqm in only 15 minutes, without tools?

5) One advantage of a trailer tent is that usually is easy to pack and as every pieces has its own place, it can be put on its place without loosing any piece. But, some tents are also very easy to pack.

6) Tailer tents are not specially cheap, also I should add the collateral costs: adequate driving license for towing, extra fuel cost, extra parking costs, space needed at home to store it, hmmmm.

If I consider the advantages and disadvantages of a trailer tent, I quickly become conscious that a good tent that satisfy all my needs is, for sure, a much more better solution. But, there is any?

Ctents

Fortunately, the answer is YES, Ctents is a tent that can be easiliy assembled, it weights less than 100 kilos, can be easily packaged and carried in any kind of vehicle (without towing!) and best of all, its price is really competitive!

So, for me the election its clear, Ctents has made of the trailer tents an invention of the past.

Still time for Glamping?

Are the glamping tents comfortable enough for users?

No vacations past summer, too much work, short money.

Finally I decided to have a rest, what to do? Glamping!

I think this is a really enjoyable way for spending few days away. First, to fit the standard, then, to find the place.


Fitting the standard


Not so easy, maybe I fixed a very high standard, but I wnted to have room enough inside the tent for being able of keeping my erect position, being able to stand up and move freely inside the tent, not so easy.

Then I reject any place where I couldn't walk around my tent without obstacles, really difficult! Why so many tents still use old fashion guy ropes? Haven't we learned anything new since Roman era?

But those two seemed to me very easy requisites after trying to find a place where tents were at list a bit thermally isolated, very hard task!!, so difficult to find any! The point should be to have two separeted layers which can keep an air chamber in between capable of reducing the thermal transmission.

Is all that to much to ask for?

Finally I found what I was looking for www.ctents.com

Find the place


Once you have found the right glamping tent, then you know that any place where a tent like this is located must be a place pleasent enough to spend some unforgotable holidays.

Glamping, a mixture of good feelings

Is it possible to be comfortable enough inside a Glamping tent?

I imagine my Glamping stay as staying at a hotel suite but inside nature. Is it too much to ask for?

First of all, when I think on Glamping I think of it with uppercase 'G' because for me is not another fashion issue, it is a real discovery, something which has its own strenght.

When I pronounce this word inside my mind, 'Glamping', a lot of feelings come to me, making me to anticipate the moment of being there and make me feel very good.

One of this feelings is a feeling of Relax, I feel like being in a place where I can stay calmly and quietly inside nature and without disturbing noises or drawbacks as insects or reptiles, dust or other upsetting 'invaders' of my privacy.

The Relax it is important inside but also outdoors, the relaxing feeling brings to my mind the image of a porch under which I can lay drinking a refreshing drink while resting on my deck chair when the weather permits me to be outside.

Another feeling that arises is the one of Luxury: To feel myself as a privileged guest.

Two are for me the main attributes of Luxury when talking about housing and temporary housing: Spaciousness and Luminosity. These both are the things most of us look for when searching for a home where to live in: space enough to move around and being able to enjoy the clarity of the day.

When I am in a Glamping tent I want that the available space inside be enough to stand up or to move around comfortably, for me that is essential, but a thing I consider critical is  to feel as keeping the best part of the sunlight inside my tent.

A third attribute also important is to be able to look at outside without annoying efforts, to have wide windows that permit me to enjoy the surrounding views while I am inside my Glamping tent.

I enjoy discovering all of the feelings produced by a single word. Another important one is the feeling of Safety, being confident that my tent is not going to collapse or loose its fixing systems, so I do not need to be aware of keeping the shape of my Glamping tent because, as in a private suite at a hotel,  I do not need to care about of the walls, of course, they are not suposed to loose their shape! I expect the same from my Glamping tent.

To be Safe also means to me I can walk outside without caring to much where to put my feet because I am sure I am not going to find obstacles crossing my pathway.

But not all that is enough. It is critical to feel Safe that, if it rains, I can comfortably be protected without any risk of having water inside, I do not expect my tent having any leakage.

And finally one feeling more I have is being confident that my Glamping tent is going to assure me a comfort Temperature conditions better than it could be outside. Then I look for a Glamping tent that has a real air chamber that can temper the temperature inside  when is hot outside, but also when it is cold and that can guarantee me that, if I am using air conditioning or an stove, I can keep the temperature without spending a lot of energy.

As I searched for a tent that could offer me all these characteristics and that could keep the feelings that the word Glamping evoques into me and I did not found it in the market, I went to my friend Emilio and we together decided to design and develop one. This is the origin of Ctents a product that helps to keep 'Glamping' as a mixture of nice feelings all together and now, after more than four years of research and developement we can offer it to the market.
