We have after much discussion bought a Sunvalley 8  from Yeomans. We ahve been looking for a bigger tent and had seen the Norfolk Lake, but that was so much more expensive. When we saw that it was on offer we checked the internet for other companies that might have an offer, but none could match this deal. I picked the tent up on Monday and we too are waiting for decent weather this weekend to see if there are prroblems with the zip. I hope we haven't made a mistake buying this tent, but I've read all the reviews on here and most people are really satified with the size of this tent. So fingers crossed and that ours and all the others that have purchased this from Yeomans get a problem free tent

Lol Graemec,we thought our garden was big enough for our needs but didn't plan on buying a huge tent when we bought the house.

Gardens probably just big enough but it's the kids stuff,trampolines,cars,bikes,swing ball,swings,slides,sandpit,etc....just take to long shifting it all lol

Wasnt being clever...in fact if the truth be known its not "our" garden, we live in an old folks shertered housing complex (wifes the warden) so there are no trampolines or bikes to worry about....just the odd zimmer frame...

Got an email from yeomans saying that due to stock shortages I wont get mine till tuesday....so much for next day delivery!!

I wont make a fuss, dont spose i'll get it used this year anyway...and before anyone says...i'll pitch it in the garden to make sure its ok.

Just put our SV8 from Yeomans up and got the hose on it.

No probs :o)

just thought i mention this but went to ccc camping tent display at wakefield store and the sun valley 8 was on sale for £299 ish but with card it was £243 big saving,shame weve had a lot of bad luck with em cos i really like the tent...my advice to you guys is get em up quick and give em a real good soakin,hope ur luckier than us.

Just couldnt believe the size of the bag when it arrived.....

Cant help feeling Ive been a bit silly getting the sv8 just for the two of us...

Any other couples using the sv8 on a regular basis?

we are four at the moment but once theyve fled the nest  i expect me and the oh will carry on with it if its still in good repair. just think you'll be able to keep the car undercover as well !

Ive convinced the wife that we'll have to be really social and invite other tenters in for a drink in the evening to justify having such a huge tent....

Any other comments about how stupidly large the sv8 is for two people...was I silly?
