looking to buy the tent in argos - its the pro action nevada 8 person 3 room tent cat number 340/923

has anyone bought this - would you recommend it?

i like the way the bedrooms can be divided into four seperate compartments -  as there are 4 of us we can have a bedroom each.

anyone got any better alternatives that they know about or is this a good buy?

Hi sunlight welcome to the forum ,you should try dooing a seach for 'argos tents' or 'pro action' because I seem to remeber there was a lot of talk about them a while back !

I think im right in thinking that the nevada ifs the argos copy of the outwell montana but without the fitted groundsheet ? of corse the montana is a lot more expenve though ,If you give us an idea of hoe much you want to spend ,im sure lots of people can recommend tents

For the same sort of money, these two are probably better quality than the argos tent.

I have friends who have this Argos one and it stood up to some pretty wild weather fine. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3408616/Trail/C%24cip%3D36237.Sports%2Band%2Bleisure%3EC%24cip%3D36238.Camping%2Band%2Bcaravaning%3EC%24cip%3D36243.Tents%3EFC%24Brands%3DPro+Action.Pro%2BAction.htm

It only has 3 bedrooms (1 room 2 hanging dividers) though so don't know if it would be ok for you,

Agree with Beefys mum wouldn't try one of those Argos tents again if you paid me

Hi sunlight and welcom

I bought a pro action tundra 9 person tent a few years ago because i thought at the time they were good value for money. It stand well in bad weather heavy rain or strong winds, but i had a lot of problems with the zips not closing. Even though i had used it Argos were pleased for me to return it and sent me another to try out, but that was the same, at that time they refunded me all my money without question. Saying that it has not put me off from buying another tent from argos as they are understanding if anything goes wrong with the tent as some tent companies dont want to know.

I think its really down to the individual. If you want a really good quality tent but have a buget you could always look on ebay.

Hello sunlight and welcome to UKCS! The Argos tent shave ahd mixed reviews on here I think, but Argos do seem to be good at refunds and replacements. But it IS a good idea to look araound at waht else you could get for similar money, which may be hassle free from the outset.

I think the two alternatives posted by beefy's mum are well worth looking at. The  Royal Toulouse tent at £150 is an unbelieveable bargain - I would also say that World of Camping have a good reputation on this forum too.

Argos do not do repairs. They just give you your money back. There are no spare parts service either. Get a Vango!!!
