Hi,

Ive got a the chance for the above tent for £40, looks little used etc, I cant seem to find much info on it, does anyone have one or any info?

It sounds like a bargain so i cant resist, probably only use it for festivals and the odd weekend as I have a Monty 12 for long breaks etc

Thanks,

Looks bigger than I imagined!!! do you have any pics of the plan/dimensions by any chance?

I remember seeing this tent up and thinking it was a neat design, much better imho than the 2+4+2 2006 version, assuming you don`t need three pods.  I have the 1200dlx incidentally, and it`s a good sturdy tent, well made and easy to pitch. (I don`t mean it`s that quick to pitch, but it is simple.)

At £40 I`d bite their hand off, actually, assuming it`s in reasonable condition. But at nearly 7m x 4m, it isn`t a weekend tent!

I got the tent and I'm really pleased with it, £40 what a bargain, looks like new, however I now think it maybe older than first thought, possibly 2003, that said, its like brand new, still has the original labels on the bag.

Are there any major differances with the 03 model to the 05, it looks the same on the pic apart from mine has triangle windows on the front bit of the porch, not square ones on the side of the porch.?

cheers ASH
