I was up at the Wokingham camping show yesterday and seeing the marvelous looking Sunncamp Evolution 600 - the "space ship" - was wondering what happened about the leaking a few posted on?

Did it get sorted? was it a fundermental flaw in the desing? if so, shame.

It would be great if any owners of the evolution 400 or 600 could report their experiences.  There were reports earlier in the year of bad problems with leaking. 

Does anyone still have this tent?  Any good experiences in the rain?

I am also interested in whether owners think this tent would be easy to pitch on your own.

Thanks

I've just bought an Evoltion 400, even after reading some of the post regarding leaks, Went up really easy in the garden with two people and I reckon it shouldn't be too hard single-handed. Going away for the weekend at the end of July and will report back.

Hi actually wrote to Sunncamp because my fella wants one of these and I was concerned about leaky reports.

I specifically asked about leaks and they said that they will be having an updated design for 2007 to account for these reported problems, however, they have only had problems in a small number of cases.

I did however see on in the flesh and it wasnt as stunning as I had hoped - im wondering if it was badly pitched !

Nope, decided to wait till next year when they have addressed the leaky problem and have another look then. I hate having to return anything and would be V V annoyed if it sprang a leak !

Hope yours remains watertight Lesley !
