yep its easy but you really need 2 people but ive never known anyone go camping on there own in a canvas bungalow lol.

The inner windows what you can see in the pic is the bedroom compartment there like curtains you open them and there is a mesh window to let more air into the tent. When you put it up youll soon see what i mean. Were going away in 3 weeks so i hope this nice weather i have at the moment holds.

Ha ha ha...!!!

 John!  I got all excited then thinking I was about to see the interior at last !!!

Haven't put mine up yet as it's been really wet here, I can't wait to see it! They look great though, really big and sturdy! Still can't find decent pics of the interior, as soon as mine's up i'll be snapping away and putting them on here

Has it only got one bedroom door or two? and is the divider zipped or does it just sort of hang like a curtain?

Sorry, for asking questions again! I'm a pain  lol

OK Then ive just added more pic's to my gallery both from the inside.

I managed to put it up the day I recieved it

The one pictures is looking towards the bedroom and one of the skylights open, you may be able to see the bedroom divider curtain thing which you just kind of hook up

the other picture is looking towards the main living area or what can be a second bedroom you can see one of the two boot lockers which i think is a good idea as my last utah didnt have this or the bedroom divider.

Thanks John

Aww thanks lol

Theres a litle zip compartment at each side at the main door in the living area where you put shoes etc in, you can get to it from inside the tent or outside which i think is a neat feature. I think we did get a good deal such a big tent lol

 

cheers john

We've been using the gelert for over a year now, and ive got to say its the sturdiest (i think thats a word!!) tent we've ever had. Wind just doesnt affect it at all.   My only gripe is that its a bit of a nightmare to put up in the rain due to the inner going up first, but taking it down in the rain can be done inner first if you are really careful not to damage the flysheet. But what a great tent not many tents can boast double skin living areas now can they? Another little tip I have is that just inside the door at the back of the tent is great for storing the tent bag and all the other bags and boxes that we take camping with us. It saves cluttering up the tent.

Just like to say that I have the original Coleman Sahara that this is an exact copy of. Did Coleman sell the design to Gelert or are they part of the same group as I bought my Sahara 3 years ago ?
