Hi

We had a Camplet Concorde but got rid of it because it was not as easy and quick to put up as we thought it would be. We bought a Trigano Randger folding camper and have found the quality to be fine. It is also a lot easier and quicker to put up the main unit for overnight stops.

We switched from a Camplet to a Jamet Jametic (similar to the Odyssee) this year.  We've only managed one outing so far this year, and the weather was fantastic so thankfully I don't know how it holds up in storms, but so far we are very happy. 

The downsides are a bigger, heavier trailer, a kitchen that weighs a ton, more pegs, and a couple more internal poles.  Although it didn't take us any longer to pitch, despite the extra pegs, partly because we were less worried about doing something wrong.  Also  because the storage is under the second bed, we didn't have to get everything out and set it up immediately.

The upsides are zip in groundsheet, underbed tent, more storage in the trailer, slatted beds, no wheel arches in the bed, more headroom, and a sturdier kitchen.  We found it easier to pack up as well, because the trailer is easier to pack. Oh, and if you don't buy a Camplet first its cheaper!

The Camplet is a great trailer tent, it packs a lot into a very small package,  but if you can manage something a bit bigger but like that style, I think the Jametic, Odyssee, or Olympe are well worth considering.
