Never bought a new Cabanon - couldn't afford one - but been lucky wth second hand ones from Ebay, Freeads & local paper.

Montpellier - Ebay - £59

Calais - freeads - £25

Adventure - Ebay - £102

Scenario - Ebay - £98

And yes, I'd love a Bear Lake too but can't seem to find a second hand bargain like the Cabanons

I'd love to be able to buy a brand new Cabanon. Every time I go to Casey's, I drool over the Tabora they have pitched. But until I get that long overdue lottery win....

I'm picking up my first Cabanon tomorrow. It's an Andorra with sun canopy from ebay, so fingers crossed it's all I hope it's going to be. I'm booked in for a week in North Wales next week,, so there's just enough time for a test pitch and change of tent plans...

I think you hit the nail on the head - so to speak

Any cotton canvas tent will be quiet in the wind -  warm of a cold night and cooler of a hot sunny day -

I really dont follow this obsession that exists for "nylon" type tents - YES they pack up small - YES they are cheaper - and YES they are "arguably" more water tight - but at the end of the day - I dont want the condensation - the flapping about in the wind - the lack of privacy - and the lack of warmth you get with Nylon type tents - sorry - I know this post will get hate mail - but its a fact and unless your a backpacker - mountain climber - or just doing camping on a budget - then PC is the only way that tents should be
