Been looking for a new tent. The OH will kill me when she finds out.
All ready have got new gelert zenith 8 man at the end of last year and she still dose not know about it. Hoping to use it in to weeks , must duck the blows. Now about to buy kampa poleath 8 ( vestable,carpet and footprint) this weekend. Was looking at wolf lake 7 and a clear lake but the wolf has to small a canopy and the clear has none. But still love them . The kampa has the enclosed vestable whitch made the number I choice for me plus they are well made tents. Must think about getting rid off a tent or two.

2 x vango amazon 600
1 x Zanzibar 600
2 x gelert zenith 8 man
1 x hilleberg 2 GT

Hate to part with anything........................lll

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

Ive got a polzeath, no vestibule yet though. Fab tent!!  Bit tricky to erect the first few times but i did manage the whole process single handed a few weeks back.

ENJOY!!!

Hi Shelldean,The reason I have two Zenith's is one is a 2008 model (now spares)and the other is 2010 (updated) model. As for the Amazon, one is a 2010 model and the other one is a 2009 model (brand new) with the bedroom area cut off and made into an extension(professionally done)and makes great living space.........

Hi zeelees, do what I do and get what you want then just bring it out when your away camping( what can they say then)but make sure that the OH has got something they want before hand so you can use that in your defence. Works all the time. But anything I get always makes life that little bit more comfortable , how can they complain about that...............

Jeez, there i was panicking about my secret purchase of a £50 porch to make our life easier. But agreed with Madscott66 timing is all important in presenting said purchases.

I still haven't told my family about the little Cabanon I won on ebay.
I lost my live-in job recently so am back with mum & dad (at almost 32yrs old it aint funny, & it aint going that well either). Think I'll ask my darling brother if there's any room in his garage & put it in there when his wife's not looking. (she's got a habit of letting things slip with my mum, who loves a good SHOUT!
