If you find one you like, ask for a test-tow over less than perfect roads (thats easy....) and ask a technical question, like does it have rubber-in-torsion suspension. My first had Indespension trailer stub-axles like I have on my home-made box trailer, and that rides fine too, empty or full. As I've had that for well over 30 years and its still fine that must say something.

Thanks Paul - yes, it's a trailer tent I'm after. I've done a small amount of research and it seems Conway are favourable? There's also some debate about dampness under the sleeping compartments with 'sides' are not elevated. The main thing is, they tend to be about a third of the weight of a 'normal' 4 berth caravan and are much easier to move around by yourself. I'd need to get a towbar put on my 144 and i noted your comments about using the bumper bracket holes for spread of load
Cheers
