Hi

I have a 2002 Camplet concorde which definately neds two people to open up as it is very heavy. Gas assist may make a difference but how much. Also be wary of the times quoted for set up. Pegging out is time consuming and fitting the underbed storage unit is fiddly and time consuming.

We have changed to a Trigano FC and the main unit goes up much easier and in a fraction of the time. We will only put up the awning for longer stays as the camper is roomy on its own for two people

We have just returned from camperlands, having bought a Jamet jametic. We were originally looking at the Trigano Odysee & liked it (it's smaller then the Olympe - about the same size as the Jametic but slightly nicer design) We'd rejected the Trigano Olympe as it's too big for us & we felt we wouln't use the space.

However, we were very impressed by the Jametic which has several features we liked more than on the Odysee.

The Jametic is slightly more easy to set up, the lift up bed (to get to the storage area in the trailer) is gas assisted & both beds are slatted. Overall, the living area is also slightly bigger then the Odysee (but still smaller then the Olympe).

We were also told by the salesman that although Trigano & Jamet are in effect the same company, the Jametic is a better quality tent than the Triganos - not sure how true that is though as they both looked the same to us! We based our decision more on the feature which suited out needs. 

Hope you have managed to make a decision - I've just realised this post may not be that helpful seeing as I'm writing it on Sunday afternoon, so hope your visit to camperlands went well!

Hi Gilly 44,

We've now been out three times in our Jametic - it's great. It took a while to set up fully the first time with pegging out etc, but now we've got the hang of it, it's pretty quick. The zip in ground sheet is a god send - easy to zip in after 1st go (make sure you leave the zips in the right place) and easy to clean too (The groundsheet is something not included on the camplet)

There is plenty of space in the tent and loads of storage too. We have had the table set up inside & still found it big enough for all of us. There's even enough space for the children to play undrneath the second bedroom.  Beds are very comfy too although quite high - we have bought a little step stool for the children to get in and out of their side.

The only real downside is that kitchen is heavy to move around but you should never have to move it far & is fine with 2 people. We've worked out that the best thing for setting up is to take the kitchen off & put it at the front edge of the tent, get the groundsheet in, then move the kitchen back into place.

All in all we're really pleased with our Jametic. Not quite so pleased with the customer service from Camperlands - but that's another story!!

Good luck with your decision.

Hi,  - Congrats on your new baby...

 We got ours  Jan 07 - so not gas assist. I put up with my 12 yr daughter, we both 5ft- ish, so can be done, with regard to the underbed storage, I don't clip onto roof rack,I use my bags to fill it out - another tip, when first erect put peg in front by door then zip on storage, then peg rest you may have to move first peg, but I find gives me a chance to think/arrange things and handy if windy/raining!

Enjoy - we love our lettie!

Off this Fri to Witterings..  Yahooooo
