Can you give more details of how you attached this to the camplet, it says it does not zip in.

Many thanks desperate for an annex but not at camplet prices

Richard has one of the camper beds to himsefg.  
Pip has the table bed.   Alice, Comet (dog) and I share the other bed.    I have a sleeping bag on the table bed, so I can go there if need be.  Pip tends to take up less roon than Alice and wriggles far less.    I think that this is the last year we will get away with this arrangement, as I can see Pip wanting a pup tent next year.   However we are hoping to get a different camper with a larger awning, so he could sleep there.

When we go in a tent it tends to be just the kids and me, so we all pile in together.   Not taken the dog in a tent yet - but he is happy in a tent when we garden camp.

Hi Suzan111,

Blimey, I realise that I'm struggling to come up with the names of the various poles/hoops in the Camplet; we have an old Royal so what I am writing may be different if you have another model.

ok, standing on the inside with your back to the open kitchen.

Directly ahead of you there's the extendable diagonal of the front hoop, which goes across the awning window and the top-left of which forms the corner of the hoop at the front of the awning. Attach one end of the verandah pole (VP) to the horizontal part of the hoop that's parallel with the side wall of the awning, and the other end to the middle hoop (the one that forms the bedroom with the sofa). On ours there's a large rubber grommet to keep the hoops apart when stowed and this is a great place to mount the right-hand end of the VP as it helps prevent it from sliding down the hoop.

Now unzip the side curtain of the awning and stow it away somewhere (or of course leave it at home). The annexe has good instructions and plenty of loops along the top edge which you use around the VP to keep the top of the annexe tight to the top of the side-opening.

I'm aware that this isn't as clear as it could be, and being a luddite I don't have a digi-camera or a phone with a camera else I'd put the darned thing together and show you, for which I apologise.

Primarily... if they were happy the way they were lying, why worry?

Other suggestions:

Taking turns on the outside if the big issue is having to climb past somebody in the night.

If mattress is foam - cut it down the middle and make different colour covers.

2 x single duvets or sleeping bags instead of double size if stealing all the covers is the problem.

Earplugs for you so you are oblivious to the squabbling!

A cattle prod should sort it...

really, the sleeping bag solution sorted it for us. Now they are grown up and its just the 2 of us..... and a crazy spaniel who has his own bed at one end, but insists on squeezing in between us (but only when in the caravan).
