hi, my first post.

I've been looking around for a replacement tent, I'm on a very small budget!

I've been looking on Ebay and found this one item no. 106258902747, has any one got any thoughts on it?

Many thanks

Welcome to UKCS! Can you check that item no coz it doesn't work for me.

How much are you willing to spend? There are some good deals around without having to resort to eBay. I'm not saying eBay is bad as I bought our Royal Avignon via eBay and it is fine, but there are many who have sory tales to tell.

Try Aldi. They have all sorts of offers. I've seen tents, tables and chairs.

Looks good online, a well guyed tunnel tent, light & easy to pitch, It'll be a squeeze sleeping 8 in it tho (maybe 8 kids under 11 yrs) - could be a bargain & if it's not you can always waterproof it.

Actually there are only me and 2 kids, who won't share a room.

I had a dome type tent with 3 pods type things for bedrooms, but I can't take another holiday in it, couldn't cope with the bedroom wall/ceiling flapping in my face!

I would have to agree with bryan_k, it looks too small for 8 people, but as there is just you and 2 kids there should be plenty of room. HH looks ok at 3000 too. Good luck if you decide to go for it.

What brand is it? How do you go about getting spares?

I bet it ends up over £100, in which case, you may be better off with this. I love mine, and it's a brand with a good reputation and good aftersales care.

The poles are standard 11mm fibreglass & can be bought in all camping shops - nuthin else should break. The seller has a good reputation, check his feedback.

Hi & Welcome

I recently bought a Cabano Chalet 6 berth frame tent from ebay, you can see it in my profile, I set it up just to check it over and couldn't believe how good a condition it was in especially with it being 20 years young....lol

I paid £56.00 for it, so there are some bargains to be had on ebay, you just need to have your witts about you.

Good luck with your hunt in finding the right tent for you.

Ian & Max
