Does anyone know a Paul Smith who's into Reliants and by the look of the pictures he's posted on the internet, also owns 3 Portafolds.

If you're Paul give me a shout. Many thanks

Hello, i've now joined, as paul~3.

Yes it's true i've three Portafolds & a Mini-Motel. Don't ask why as i dont really know.

Last outing for the Portafold in 2006 will be Dec 8th when 5 adults will enjoy its shelter in comfort all in separate beds before a saturday cycle around Carsington Water nr Ashbourne, Derby. (and i dont use my awning)

Excellant, do you know the chassis numbers from the Portafolds?

Also, could you email me some pictures of your Mini-Motel? I still haven't seen what they look like.

Many thanks

Matthew

Hi matthew, ill try sending a photo of mini mo but the walls are not fitted on yet so it won't stand up. As it sits next to the spare porta' (my sons)you'll see the size comparison. The rear door and front panel swing up into the roof out of the way as you unfold each wall (double fold) but you stand next to each wheel at a time as you do this. It has a proper bath in the floor with a tiny plug hole to drain away. Tis very basic and the beds are only just big enough to sleep on, but hey its for tourin not livin in

Anyone else want to see then just ask..

If anybody would like to see what the pre-Portafold Mini-Motel actually looks like I've uploaded the pictures below. I'm sure Paul won't mind me sharing them with you all.

You can see why the inventors were asked to come up with something a little larger!

Nice to see we're {as a group } back online. And i'm pleased to see my photos here, being used to compare the size of these 'van's. Now check out the improvement page....

Just found some pics that Matt (Morris_J2) sent me years ago. They might give you a better idea of what a Mini-Motel looks like...

And even some reference pictures of how big the cushions should be...

And if you think your Portafold needs work, check out how Matt's Mini-Motel looked back in 2006.
