we have yet to make our maiden voyage in our camp-let and have been dutifully putting it up and down - it seems to get harderthough! and we tried to put in the supporting pole (fine) and roof bar - but the roof bar has two hooks at the end that don't seem to fix anywhere ? it rested ok on the two sides of the bedroom compartment but is that it? it looks like it should fit in to some holes or something?

thanks

It doesn't fit in holes, but push against each of the bedroom hoops. It is often easier to fix the bar to the front by the door and then extend it back to the bedrooms. It becomes obvious then how it fits in.

Hi Maglin

Hopefully this link will direct you to the Camp-let site and you can download the instructions for your model. It includes fairly good pictures also.

If that doesnt work directly go to the site and look for Techincal Information.

It does seem a bit odd but you will know when its right, fix it the way SG sugests but be careful not to let the pole drop ours got caught on the valance on tore a hole.

arghh we've not tried the poles bit yet, had a practice go on the weekend and ended up calling camperlands as we couldn't put it down again, it was not folding over properly!

thank you for your replies very helpful

suzan 111 - i would be interested in hearing more from you as we are in the same boat! we have put ours up and down three times in the drive we sometimes struggle just getting the loop thing off by the kitchen and last time we could barely get the catches in - but fingers crossed!
we are on our maiden trip just after easter

what tables and chairs do camp-let owners think are best? have you chosen any?
thanks i do appreciate hearing all your advice and views
