Attwoolls in Gloucester have an Aruba in their inside display if that is anywhere near you. It's too big for the two of us but we were there today and stood inside it with big grins on our faces. The new Aruba is beautiful, very light and airy - nice curtains and is a lovely looking tent.

I'm very envious of anyone who buys a new one and I expect to see lots of photos!

Oh you are making me so excited.  Pity I wont get to use it until next year.

I am actually in Ireland but put have spent a few days camping earlier this week and spent a while sussing out the Frame tents on the campsite and got to see the inside of a Cabanon Estelle which gave us a good idea of the size.  We have 4 kids so we need all the size and after next summer we are planning to go to France & Spain with the tent.

Well I did it. Got the bedroom annexe and sun canopy. I'll be putting it up in the garden tomorrow but sadly minus canopy and annexe as our garden just ain't big enough it's first use will be the last week of the school hol's in Devon so as soon as I get back I'll post plenty of pics. BTW I managed to get 5% off at camping international in Gillingham just by asking not much but it adds up when spending this sort of money.

Thanks for all the support you guys it has made the decision easier.

The Aruba will be even nicer than the Estelle as the "A" series is the top of the range.   

I'd imagine you'll need the additional annexe on it for six of you or it'll be a bit snug?

They are lovely tents, we are very pleased with all of ours and wouldn't really camp in anything else.

Good luck with your camping and your new tent (when you get it!)

Ohhh well done Deltaone, I don't think you'll regret it for one moment. Sounds like Waterford would like to see some pics of yours when you've got some.

It's all very exciting and I'm very envious!

Well done Deltaone.  What colour did you get. Well done on the 5% discount.  Looking forward to seeing pics of your tent when you return.

Thanks for the advice Piglet.  Will have my tent nice and early next year so if we get good weather in May or April I will be ready to head off for the weekend.

I believe it is blue the 2007 model. Camping and general have a 20% sale in october i think so if they have the stock then that's the time to buy.

That is the colour I also want to get.  Hopefully it is the 2007 model my camping shop has in stock.

Good luck I can't wait to try mine out. I must admit the sunncamp palace nearly turned my head because it is on offer at my local. This website and the wonderful people here have helped me come to the right decision.
