thanks for the tip, will have a look, just wonder if it's too small for longer stays.

Thanks

I know, I get the feeling that there are probably tents that are comparable but maybe older/ cheaper, but my heart is rather set on the Carolina 3 as it looks so cool! I'm kind of holding off in the vague hope that someone does a good offer on it. Wishful thinking I'm sure!

I'm also still unsure about the whole carpet thing, I've never heard of such a thing until I came on here, but it does sound tempting, oh dear the costs are edging higher and higher....

Thats a good tip, thank you. My boyfriend has warned me not to go overboard on the spending... already have my eye on a double sleeping bag which is £50, and obviously need all the basics for cooking etc.

Think I might bite the bullet and order my Carolina 3, I keep looking at it and its not getting any less lovely each time :)

I'm after a weekender and if it was only the two of us and the dogs I'd have it like a shot.  Its a lovely tent, have you seen it up?  You know also that the poles are steel?

Steel poles are good as long as your not too limited by weight and space (you wouldnt want to carry it far).  I have a monty 6 which has steel poles - its very stable in winds unlike the fibreglass poles which tent to bend quite dramatically.

You really ought to try and see it up - where abouts are you?  I'm sure someone will know of a display near you where you can see it in the flesh.
