We picked up a second hand Camplet on Monday so are off for just 1 night this weekend to try it out before venturing further, does anyone have any useful tips regarding the Camplet or things that we should look out for (bending the centre pole or hinge near the kitchen seem to be top problems!)

 

Thanks

 Clip the underneath storage onto the rack before opening. Otherwise you are in for a back breaking scramble .

Otherwise it is a good piece of kit

If its windy when you open up, loosly peg the a couple of guys at the front first.(stops it closing back up  ) and the same when packing up if it's windy.

Get a bungie cord and use it to hold down the bar you pull out over the kitchen before lifting the canvas.

Thanks for the ideas, we'll give them a go at the weekend and see how we get on.  At least the forecast is looking good for our first outing with it (makes a change as every time we have gone away in our caravan so far its chucked it down and blown a gail!)
