I've been watching some videos on setting up the Camp-let and they really do look fab! Searching for a good used one now!
Hi..
Like you, looking at the Camp-let, we're quite impressed...and since they first caught our eye, we have seen someone putting one up on 'site...and although admittedly there was a fair amount of pegging involved, once done the whole thing, awning an all, is up
Whereas looking at some of the other fold-out types, they only assemble the beds/sofa? and they still appear to leave you with 45mins worth of faffin' with a jumble of poles/"canvas" if you want the awning/canopy for living space etc...?
Having said that, there's a chap a couple of streets away with a small, single sided Raclet (Solena?) and that looks quite neat, all be it "compact"

We bought a Solena in April 2016 and have still to master the 'Single woman erects cabin in 2 minutes' routine, largely because a) I fanny around making minute adjustments; b) the Camping Municipal (sandy) pitches in France can get washed away and getting a floor level in a giant washing up bowl shape is very difficult; c) we also have a Thule softbox on the tt roofrack so that takes 5-10 minutes to dismantle, empty and fold away under the trailer; and d) We take far too much kit & clobber 'just in case'. But we're getting there - slowly! We were away for 4 days last week at Montmorillon, Vienne (€11.90 per night so just under £11 for Solean, Car, 2 adults, ehu and a free BBQ +wine on the first night!). Brilliant little site - unfortunately, we arrived late, the BBQ was about to start, I fanny around - so, after a pleasant meal and sharing of wine, we began connecting lights and power supplies at 11:30pm with lots of 'shushing' between ourselves ... People still spoke to us next morning - all very civil. We're hoping to go to Clisson (near Nantes) tomorrow - late departure because I need to wait for my bike to be repaired - I'm determined to get the 'cabin only' set up down to 30 minutes after the Soft Box has been removed - including running electrical connection through the canvas walls which the elasticated/Velcro straps make quite fiddly. Once set up, the Solena is comfy for 2 and is a doddle to tow and manoeuvre - just not as simple as the Raclet Video on You Tube would have you believe!
