I figured I’d throw an update here, since I looked into these campers after selling my AT Habitat. I was looking into a slide in camper that wasn’t as big as the full-sizers, and this fit the bill.
I’ve jumped around trying many different camper setups, and we moved to the Sherpa from Le Petit for the Spacekap baseline and it’s all-weather robustness (hard/insulated walls, clean/functional interior layout, etc). I had personal plans to build out a modified Diablo myself, and when I saw the Le Petit design I immediately decided that was a much higher quality product than I could do with my time.
…And now I own the first official production Le Petit camper. Since it was the first production version, they worked out some improvements over their first design, and I think it turned out great.
The folks at Le Petit are excellent craftsmen. The camper body itself is durable and weatherproof to start, and the addition of the interior with features like good insulation, Maxx fan, solar, a folding bed, storage, fridge, and a clever layout really maximize the usability. There are also options for heating, more solar, cook stoves, etc, all with cleverly integrated design, if you so desire.
The Rolef screens are a great touch for privacy/access, and the Arctic Tern windows are a high quality touch (same for the roof hatch that I opted for as well).
Make sure you get the hitch step or have plans for entry if you have a taller truck! I had to get a small step stool to easily get into and out of the truck without a little climbing.
I’ll get pictures in the next week or so.
