Although it may be totally impractical and too heavy and expensive....

4 bags weighing approx 40kg each and a price tag of approx 3.5k...

but the cabanon lodge was luverly at Forest camping centre

We looked at that too when we were camping in the New Forest last weekend. It's a classy looking tent indeed and would take a bomb to shift it probably.

Still don't like un-sealed bedrooms though. All those creepy crawlies in your bedroom  Also as my OH said, as he's over 6ft tall the kitchen unit would have to sit so far away from the sides so he could stand and use it and not hit the sloping roof, you would lose loads of floor space. Still lovely tent though.

Sorry, meant to add that apparantly it's mainly bought for campsites to hire out, like yurts etc as it's quite a bulky unit.

yep, salesman mentioned that

said they hired them out at £400-£500 a week pre-erected on the site.  Expected to last about 4 seasons used like this

It just oozed qualitly though didn't it?  Nice to see Cabanon is still doing that.

i was really impressed, suppose you have to see it to appreciate it..

even the side poles were unusual

Liked the canopy set up more than anything - Simple enough shape, you would think someone else would do a cheaper version

Also set up was approx 1 hour according to the poor bloke putting them all up - he did say some of the polyester jobbys took longer
