Just returned from our first holiday in our Concorde.

I found towing no problem,I did have a problem reversing, when we arrived at a site in Barmouth a large lorry carrying a Mobile Home was leaving and the road was very narrow so I had to try to reverse, not a nice experiance,I ended up jumping out, disconecting the concorde, pushing it out of the way,and then my wife reversed the car out of the way, Is it just me who cant reverse! I must take a reversing course, (I think the caravan club hold one)apart from that the concorde was a pleasure.

We had very heavy rain in Stratford on Avon and we had no leaks which you always worry about with a second hand unit!

After a visit to Warwick Casle (which I can reccomend) we moved on to Barmouth which was wonderful,a great site,great weather and a smashing town, I like to think of Barmouth as a 'Welsh St Ives'.

I estimate to set the Concorde up completely took about an hour, including pegging out,is that about right?

I can't wait to take the concorde out again,I hope to get a couple of weekend's in before we go to Cornwall for our two week summer holiday.

Done very well,1 hour first time,takes me that at least!  And you are not the only one who cant reverse! Short trailers are a nightmare.  Glad it all went well. If you really feel the need to  reverse,it helps if you can see the back of the trailer,a flag on each corner works!

Glad you liked it!

We just got back today from Cornwall, had a great time (our 2nd in the camplet) First time at Easter I had a bad back, blamed the bed, but this time slept on the slatted side with an IKEA bed topper, it was really comfy.
We also got the whole tent up really fast, so much so that the people camping next to us, noticed and when their parents came to visit on the site, they said they want one!

We generally don't reverse unless we have to - OH not too bad, I am terrible, only tried once with a trailer, it ended up in a hedge!

My only problem with the Camplet is not being able to fit much in it, think we will have to buy a roof box for next hol in France, or a cargo bag for on the trailer.
