Hi

We are thinking about upgrading to the camplet concord from out current trailer tent which is a triango chantilly

Is it really as easy as it looks to put up and down,can any one advise how long it takes to put up and take down

how do you store the chairs / table when travelling

Our currrent trailer  has tons of room but can take up to 1 1/2 hours  to put up and after a long trip does not put you in the best of moods

thanks

We changed from a Trigano to the concorde, have to say love it, only thing I really miss about the trigano - (which I loved as well), is the central bit by the beds -  sort of an extra room to change in.

 The speed of erecting the Camplet is great, I do it with my daughter (10) and I'm only 5ft 1 - as  mentioned above, you are under cover in minutes..

- In ours I get table, chairs,  sleeping bags -(if going regularly) lights, picnic mats, groundsheet, electric stuff, small windbreak,  - in car only have loo, fridge and food box and clothes, kids, dog - can get longer and longer if you think about it..

Good luck with your decision..

hi jo

do you put all your extras in the uner bed storage or on top

thanks

I find the putting up the Camplet so easy as Jo said.  Me and my kids (7 & 8) help and its up in mins.  Like others have said the skirt, pelmit is all done under cover.  The pegging I leave to kids esspecilly when wet.  We all now have our own little jobs and it's up and down within an hour. It was a brill buy and I haven't looked back on spending money on one.

Camperlands, if you live in distance is well worth a visit and they will show you and let you try putting one up.

Good luck with your desicion

Hi,

The stuff mentioned in my list above is in the trailer, I actually have n't put anything on the top except - bikes.

In my list the table n chairs are 1 of the fold up ones with seats attached and 2 fold up chairs and a couple of the umbrella types. The underbed storage, is for bags etc once you are set up.

- Like Louise says above if you are near Northenden, Manchester, Camperlands are worth a visit, they also have a video on their website showing one being set up..

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Endorse everything going before, the finishing touches take longer than putting the thing up, Anything that doen't fit inside can go on top, as can anything wet or muddy. We purchased the exrtra large front box, pricey but worth it, it holds small portaloo, gas bottles, barbeque, water containers and a million other bits and pieces that we can't leave home without. The fridge goes in the back of the car. We reckon about two hours to pack up including breakfast and washing up! It helps to put uneeded items away the night before. Sadly it is true, the more space you have the more you take! We now include cushioned sun loungers because they can be carried on top! Many years ago we managed with a two man dome tent and a borrowed cooker on the tail-gate of our pick-up van.
