Recently bougth a Sunncamp Evo 400 despite various posts on this forum regarding leaking zips/seals. Well....

Two of us had it pitched within 15 minutes. Would have been a real squeeze for four people but was perfect for the OH and myself for the weekend. Bright and airy thanks to the windows and air vents and felt really comfortable to be in as its got enough head room to stand in (approx 2m). All I was wondering about as I went to bed Friday night were those zip seals.

Friday night - no rain.

Saturday night - absolutely chucked it down !!!

01:30 seals dry
03:35 (woken by someone snoring nearby) seals dry
06.50 (woken by some kids on bikes - do the little darlings not understand the concept of hangovers/Sunday mornings/let me die quietly in the corner? anyway, seals still dry.

Hangover alleviated by no puddles of water inside tent and by the sight of one of the aforementioned kids bikes being reversed over by aforementioned kids dad in campervan !!!!

Good weekend had by all , well, all but one!

Brilliant tent, love it, go buy one!!

Great news

We bought one of these tents too and found it great...........plenty of room for the three of us and the dog.  Easiest tent that I've ever put up in my life.  Fortunately or should that be unfortunately  it didn't rain so hopefully ours won't leak either

Hi -

We had the leakage problems on our Evolution - but it was the bigger 600 not the 400 that you have ...  must be a problem just with the bigger model.
