  Going away on Thursday evening so thought it would be an idea to test pitch the new tent, bought it way back in January to replace the Lakesbury 5.

Very pleased with the large windows all round and zip up blinds

Also i like the idea of having the built on porch area.

My very large £10 carpet coutesy of camping world, Big thank you to everybody there and sorry for all the problems caused by me putting the link on here. 17

And the best thing is that i can pitch it single handed within 30 mins. all packed away in its bag now ready for Thurs, can't wait!!!    17

Enjoy your new tent. I see it already has a front canopy, but if they do an additional front canopy like our Corado I can recommend you get one It makes so much difference especially if you want to cook outside when its raining and dont want the wind to blow the rain in the 1st canopy. If that makes sense. Geoff

Awwww!!!  Thanks for that Geoff,  after toying with the idea of should i or shouldnt i get an enclosed front extension i just convinced myself this morning that i didnt actually need one, it was more a case of just wanting one.

I am now going to spend this evening with my cursor hovering over the buy button on a certain website.  17  lol.

Jeff,as per usual I probably didn't make myself clear. The extra canopy on ours is not enclosed. Its just another canopy the same as the one on the tent. An enclosed one might make the inside very hot unless you can open it right up.

Ours with the 2 canopies. Note how far back kitchen is away from any rain being able to get in.
