The camp let new brochure came saturday (I really like them)

But can't see much difference between the different models? I know you can buy more extras for the concorde and royal and they have a wardrobe but is that it?

I like the Apollo as it looks to have a proper door, the Concorde seems to be the whole panel.

We bought the Concorde last year, the Concorde has a door or you can have a panel to make it cooler, main difference i think is apollo, you cann't increase living accommodation, Concode you can add a bedroom pod and Royal you can add an additional awning. It all depends long term how much space you went, we went for the Concorde as while we couldnt afford the extra bedroom pod now, its something we might do in the future. Dont know about the apollo but the Concorde has a 3 ring burner.

Yes thats a good idea, at least you got the choice then.

But there seems to be approx 1000 price difference between the models and cant see what you get extra!

They all more a less same size and weight.

If you go to the following and download the english version of their general brochure the last page has a good comparison of the differences between each model.

As stated earlier it's mostly about how much you want to expand it in the future. We are a family of four and the extra compartment is good for toilet, storage, cupboard etc or if we have extra people staying. We could not justify the extra for the Royal but others maybe can?

ps - see they have a new sunscreen. Looks good but wonder how much that would cost after just buying one last year and that wasn't cheap!

hiya just dropped in to say hi...so you got your brochure through thats great , good for you.we recently purchased our camplet savanne at the end of november last year,  i think they are absolutley amaaaaazing..but beacause of the weather we all seem to be having ,unfotunatley we have'nt been able to use it yet.but the camplet outstands all the rest (  my opinion ). luckily we have a rather large garden so we were able to set it up for a few hours, practice with it ,and explore it. before parking it up. but to be honest, the models are all pretty much the same except the more you pay the more you get..  in the end i would say .buy what you can afford..you can upgrade at a later date i.e wardrobes awning etc.although "sometimes" its better to purchase second hand from a place such as "camperlands" because previous owners tend to leave a few extras like water bottles, wardrobes, breathable ground sheets, electric hook up etc etc, the whole package is serviced and thoroughly checked by camperlands mechanics before they'll let you purchase it ..and they'll be more than glad to assist you in anyway they can. but dont forget to try and get something off the price either way...as for towing well god knows how often i had to check the rear view mirror to see if i could still see it driving back to scotland from manchester. it was like towing a breath of fresh air ( could'nt feel it nor know it was even their ).and that was my very first time ever towing anything..save your money on all those extra's thats what i would say if you purchase one, and get yourself a good hitch lock and wheel clamp also dont forget to get yourself trailer tent insurance, its cheap.if planning on going to camperlands to purchase a camplet second hand or new it would be best for you to phone ahead of your visit just to see what they have in stock...we purchased second hand from camperlands and got lucky but if your purchasing new you may have to wait a few weeks untill your model arrives and or is put together and fully checked over by the maintenance team. dont be tempted by the alloy wheels unless your pockets are ligned with silver. good luck with your choice fingers crossed for a great summer and all the very best

 im pretty sure the apollo has a smaller awning than the other camplets, the concorde,savanne and royal all have the same size awning, and you can add differant extenions to these but not the apollo

Hi, the Apollo's built in awning is 250 cm x 400 cm. THe Concorde, Savanne and Royal are 275 cm x 400 cm.

I must admit I liked the idea of the Royal, but at £1000 more I just could not justify it. Also reading the PDF instructions for both the Apollo/Concorde is slightly easier to assemble. The sink on the Royals kitchen makes the kitchen longer and I would not be able to put our worktop/larder/Fridge next to it (in theory). The Royal looks to have nicer windows with better ventilation on LHS window. Also the Royal is the only one to have the option of the additional awning. The Royal comes with alloy wheels.

I am getting the alloy wheels - only because they are included on the unit I'm buying, but agree don't waste money on buying them extra - the ordinary ones still go round!

Andy
