My minds ever changing...

Seen a stratos in the flesh,but as yet not time to see a camp-let. However,Im getting the feeling the cmp-letwould be quicker to put up than the stratos? I would only consider the camp-let with added awning of course,and this would add time to put one up.

Which one is of better quality....preferences?....

Regards....

Thanks Marynov

I will have to go sometime,I was just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience/knowledge first...

Thanks again!

ooh, choices choices, we have a Cabanon Stratos and LOVE IT but I must admit, I saw the Camplet Savannah a few weeks after we got the Stratos and thought it looked lovely, (not seen it in the flesh mind!)  Looks easier to put up than the Stratos, as you have the whole living area in one go, rather than just the bedroom part - you can manage with the Stratos without the awning but not for cooking etc -

All I can say is that the Stratos is just lovely, there are lots of threads on here about it and one by Mark ? in the Features/Tips thread.   The quality is outstanding.

Yeh, the missus and daughter chose the stratos in the campshop before Id even got to it!

It is a big living area with a very large awning...just hoping its not too difficult/long to put up?

Not difficult at all - the cabin a total doddle, the awning easy after a few goes, but it takes a bit of muscle power (and a step if you are short like me) - we now leave the groundsheet zipped on the awning and go inside the whole thing to zip it on/put the zip in poles in, then jiggle, found this much quicker. 

We should arrange a Stratos meet one of these days, there are so many of us on here now....

Hi we have a Camp-let Royal 2001/2002 in green Its for sale on this site.(brother in laws) Also own a 1993 Royal with Fridge built in.Love the Camplets so easy to errect & take down. If we are closer than Camperlands you are welcome to come & have a look.Never tried a Stratos.But  the Camp-let takes 5/10 minutes to put up.Kettle on Then another 10 miutes for the awning up.We have the guest annex witch we leave attached to save on time.

Like you I liked the Stratos, went to the NEC last year just to have a look. Went up to Camperlands in Feb to have another look and came away after ordering the Camp-let Savanne.

Last weekend was our first outing.

The Camp-let Savanne was very easy to put up for a couple of novices, but possibly let down by a the small living area compared to the Stratos, also the added sun shade for the savanne with front & side is screens is not a nice fitting just tied up.

So maybe should have gone for the Startos.

I saw for the 1st time yesterday one of Stratos set up I thought it was lovly too, but it had no kitchen and I know they have bought one out with  a kitchen now but lifting them on and off is a nitemare.

So my heart is still set on a combi camp with a kitchen.
