Yes - we removed the annexes first then the dome - that's when it tried to take off and we had to prop the kids inside whilst we removed the poles!! The cooler bag is missing in ours (ex-display) but judging from the pictures it looks like a fairly simple piece of kit - nothing much different from any other cooler bag (which we already have) and I'm guessing that nobody bothers zipping and unzipping it all the time?  Has anyone got the cool port fan - wonder if it would be useful in South of France - was pretty hot in the tent this weekend (not complaining - we had glorious weather!) or is that a step too far in terms of accessories??

Hi All,

New here.....New to camping...Please go easy on me...

Buying this tent shortly..but maybe a silly question?

If you are not using the second bedroom or chef's room does the tent have 'blank' ends to zip on, if you buy it in the package deal?

cheers

Hi ALL,

Got mine today at 5pm and it was up at 6.40pm...

putting the pins in the eyelets was the hardest job...then I found one side was adjustable.oh well its up now...

Not been camping for 20 years...just spent £700 on tent and all the bits..and I mean all the bits....

We best like it now......

going to try Teversal Campsite first Were from Nottingham so its close... Does anybody know if this 'Canvas Mansion' will fit o the site or am I panicking for nothing!

Cheers

Local to me Mark, but never been. Heard it got toilet block of the year a few years back!! If you cycle or walk , there are some excellent trails in the area ,so could be a great weekend to go this weekend . Teversal Grange worth checking out , and you are not far away from a great camp shop at Huthwaite . If you think you might want a Link annexe , I still have a few unspoken for at £55.Follow my add to get in touch .

So , what do you think of the Evolva, sounds like you pitched it reasonably quick.I gather now you have enough gear and then some !!!

Good luck Solosid and join the club.  I bought one a week or so back and also did not know where to start (which should have been here by the way). Glad to have found Numbersix both for his passionate and greater (than mine) understanding of camping and the Evolva as well as his grand efforts in respect of the link annexe.  See his other thread and buy his last annexe whilst you still can!

No idea where I am going to restart with this camping lark but it seemed unfair not to with three young boys.  I am seeking advice on what else you need, so feel free to input your advice here or in the equipment forum.  I have only got as far as a tent, a Kingsize Premium Aerobed (hoping inverter will power OK) and what seems to be a very handy lead acid 30 LED rechargeable lantern from Argos.
