Good Points
We have recently purchased the Concorde after having used the Apollo which we purchased about 12 years ago, and even then it was second hand. Brilliantly easy to erect, comfortable to tow.The gas assist makes it very easy to swing open the trailer.The beds are better in the Concorde and the bed slats prevents the condensation. The under bed storage is a blessing as is the breathable groundsheet which covers the canopy area. Having the bigger wheels is a help as this brings the trailer hieght up so it is more easily to reverse. We are looking forward to next year.
Bad Points
On our trailer the clamp for the front post is not very smooth, you can easily trap your finger between the clamp arm and the post foot if you have this to high. The corner of the canvas does not line up with the corner of the trailer on one side. I am having trouble finding a hitch lock that covers the two fixing bolts of the hitch. Without this I cannot get insurance cover.
General Comments
All in all we are very pleased with the modern Concorde. The first two bad points which we have pointed out are being investigated by our dealer at a time which which is convenient to us. I would have liked a DVD showing the correct way of erecting and more importantly the pegging out
If anyone knows of a hitchlock that will fit the 2008 Concorde would thay please let me know
