We are currently enjoying our 3 night break away in the new tent. Could not get it to pitch quite how it should be it is doing just fine. Had some very heavy rain but we are all loving it. Only problem we have is my new airbed seems to mmm well just be a bed with no air within an hour. These were bought new and these are there first outing. I think I will be looking at camp beds now.

Well we are now home. A great 3 night's away and even managed for the tent to be.dry for packing up. We are very impressed with our new tent and few bits we have got, but we now have a list of things we want to get.

Glad you had a good time apart from the airbed incident!

This is the reason I moved over to camp beds - sooooo comfortable and they don't go down in the middle of the night!

We were really impressed at how comfortable our campbeds were (despite our border collie sneaking onto mine in the night!). They are really bulky to store, but that's the only negative.

Glad you had a lovely time on your first outing. :-)

We have SIMs instead of airbeds as we find them warmer, plus they are easier to get in the car than campbeds, If the beds are brand new I'd take them back and get a refund.  If the leak is on the furry side you can't even patch it successfully!

If it doesn't fit inside the cars it's more than your family needs :-)
