Loopster I done it, your advice was all beneficial i can't thank you enough. I even put it on e.bay as i was so frustrated with it. Now i know how it goes up i'm gonna keep it. It's a monster, a beast, unberlievable.

Shame the wife thinks it's to big. She is worried that it may not stand the wind when trying to get it up. Telling her about my dream of returning to a campsite to find it collapsed didn't help either.

Have you or anyone else got any experiences of how there tent was with the strong wind, rain etc, living in scotland that's all we seem to get as the weather is so unpridictable.

thanks once again loopster

Hi really glad you managed to do it. I knew you could. Told you it would be worth it!!!

What a tent eh?

1st trip we went on we had strong winds while we were putting it up & yes it was a bit difficult ( i though it would be clever to open the front door before it was pegged out & it collapsed!! ) But hubby put temp pegs in while putting it up then adjusted them after & it was fine.

Have fun. Tell the wife the space will be great when it's raining.

Let me know how you get on.

Lou xx

Hi, The grounsheet covers the whole of the inside although it's not fitted (it has to be pegged down) Then the bedrooms go on top.

Hope this helps?

HIya if your looking to buy one then I will sell you mine for £80.00.

As previously stated my wife feels it is to big and we have gone back to the sunncamp cottage6. I

 still stand by what I said about it being a cracker but can't be bothered with the moaning that it's to big!!!

It has never been slept in, the only thing missing is 2 guide ropes which won't be missed as there is loads of them, and the pegs which can easily be replaced. If interested then give me a shout untill then happy camping folks and enjoy the weather.

Hi, We usually put the tent up then the groundsheet down inside as the tent is huge it's hard to move once up!!!

Yes it's the full size of base area.

The bedrooms are pods which have fully built in groundsheets.

Any more help then just ask.

We love this tent & are takin 4 kids with us in a couple of weeks for a week. I know we'll have more than enough room.

Can i as where you're getting the tent from?

Wife's a bit concerned about "thing's" creeping in etc  ,

I've seen one new for £149 inc delivery ...will let you know where from later    !!

It fits pretty well. It pegs into the ground. ( we put the skirt of the tent under the groundsheet so nothing gets in)

We don't have any problems with creepy crawlies!!!

£149 inc delivery is a good price.

I was looking on Ebay & there was one for £199!!!

Get it while you can. You won't regret the space.

Let me know how you get on.
