Karsten's new tent for 2013 is unveiled toady at the 'Caravana' exhibition in The Netherlands and it's not  inflatable! The high quality tunnel tent has been developed using knowledge from the inflatable tents and is quick and easy to erect taking approximately eight minutes. The tent uses a smart pole system with a sewn in groundsheet for additional ease when setting up, A tunnel tent with the trusted quality of Karsten for carefree camping.

For those of you who follow on Facebook  you will have probably learnt over the past week that I have turned the wrong side of 39. Saw it happening, but was powerless to stop odometer clocking 40! As a present my family gave me a digital SLR camera that I had been hankering after for a while to which I was absolutely delighted. I have just signed up to the 365 Project - "Document everyday of your life in a year with a photo". This link takes you through to my recent photos (Hopefully they'll improve):  http://365project.org/campingking/365   The reason I'm posting about it, is that it makes you take a photo each day!

Karsten's direct to tent rain awning connector. This is a great little joiner add to your collection of Karsten Awnings. It allows you to connect your current rain awning direct to the Karsten Pod, without the need of erecting the Comfort or Extension Awning.

This is now available to order from the Camping Travel Store Please call 01763 273662 or email info@campingtravelstore.co.uk for further details.
