Wow, i'm in love....we have a homestead 7 and love it to bits but the halo is a great looking tent although I'm not a great lover of full sigs at least this has a good 'sig free' porch. There is a camp show on near us that we were going to go to to get a few bits and peices but I'm not sure I could risk seeing the 104 pitched ..... I might be very tempted to be unfaithfully to our 'big blue slug'.
this is a question for roo_too, did you see the halo range?
looking to buy a tent, narrowed it down to the Outwell SV8 (SIG and Fly first), then we errected our friends Wild Country HS 10 in the garden...liked the quality, but no SIG...the HALO seems to be same quality, SIG and inner...but can't find a WC dealer in the cardiff area to see one.
We've got a WC Homestead 5, and it's great. We have friends who have an outwell their's was great once they got the seals sorted. Luckily we were all pretty seasoned. Never trust the seals on any new tent whoever made it, take a small tube of silicone sealant, i've even patched up seals when it's raining, not the best idea but it worked. Our Homestead 5 is just the right size for a family of 4 (our normal numbers). We've actually squeezed 7 into it by utilizing the inner tent of a North Face Tadpole in the living area!!
Sorry to drag up an old thread, but i'm looking to buy a new faminly tent, and the 'Wild Country Halo 104' is the one me and the wife have set our hearts on, but i cannot find a review of it anywhere, and this is the only thread that came up when i did a search on here. Anyway i'm new here (and to camping), it's a great site expect to hear more from me asking questions and seeking advice.
Anybody? or am i going to have to buy it a do a review myself? Is there a list anywhere for newcomers to camping, on the things that should be bought? i'm trying to make a list now but i'm sure i going to miss things off it!
