Does anyone have any experience of the Gelert Satellite 6? It's quite roomy it seems but not got SIG in the living area. What's the quality like compared to, say, a Vango or an Outwell?

Cheers!

What darthillcat said.We had a gelert vario 5 before we defected to folding campers and it was brilliant,we had an outwell before that and to me i could not find the difference in quality they where both great but bought the vario 5 as we needed more space and it was a bargain.

Hi Steve, I had the sattelite 6 whilst waiting for my new van last year, spent 2 weeks in york enduring gale force winds and driving winds.

I did have the main guys anchored with delta pegs

The tent stood up well, takes two to put up but isnt too difficult.

Once up the living space is huge even with a full size picnic table up, there was loads of room to walk around, the sleeping compartments comfortably sleep 2 and take the gelert double air beds, the 2 side sleeping compartment offer space at the ends for storage, £ for £ this was money well spent (I admit I got mine half price in the halford sale)     

All the best
