Thankyou x it took some deciding between the wolfie and the vermont but it was a deal we couldn't refuse ! yes its the 2013 x after a very leaky old tent we have treated ourselves !! hoping the polycotton will last !
Ex Norfolk Laker here......I have a tip.......whichever method you choose, peg down the front or back corners before you do anything else!!!!!! Voice of experience here after one gust of wind nearly turned me into a hang-glider!!!!!!!
------------- Started with a motorbike and tent.......my gallery, my life.
We brought the 2013 Wolf 7 in April!!! Amazing tent! We've already done two weekends in it and just came back last week from a week in North Wales. Off again next weekend in it!!
Only tip from me, is to pitch from the front. Insert pole, then lift and guy down, then work your way backwards, doing the same with each pole. Once they're all in, then put the 4 corners in and guy the tent!! :)
I have a photo of our Wolf on here!
That's the tent I currently have my beady eye on! Will need to save up a bit more though. Hope your pitch goes well today. Take lots of pics to let us see the Wolfie in all its glory

Did test pitch and it went up a dream did front to back and it worked really well and it looks amazing !!! now for the bad bit ................... Wardrobe area missing a hook for the pole ! Bedroom pod missing the hooks on the tent to hold it out on one of the back windows. Groundsheet got a hole in it (didnt even unfold it as it was there right on the top) awning kit groundsheet has a hole in it near the door which someone I presume at the factory has done a terrible repair on ! So it was a bit bitter sweet to say the least ! all probs photographed so will see what happens tomorrow with the retailer !!!

That's rubbish! Hope it gets sorted for you.
