We still have our ours, Mark. We`ve had it 3 years and still going strong. Mind you it hasn`t been out since last autumn and we have our first trip planned for a fortnights time so I`ll let you know if it`s still ok. I do hope so as we can`t really afford the expense of a new tent this year because we are having to invest in a day tent after losing the gazebo in high winds last year.

By the way Mark, how do you get on pitching in the rain? We`ve never had to yet, but I`m worried about it because it`s inner first.

Hi Ray,

          We have pitched in the rain quite a few times and we don't find it a problem really as once the tent is up it soon dries anyway. It's taking the tent down in the rain thats a real pain especially if you have to be off a site early morning. We have sat for hours before waiting for it to stop raining, as you know it is a lot of tent to pack away and the only thing you can do when it is wet is throw it in the back of the car, then you spend half an hour trying to demist the inside windows. We have decided our next tent will be a flysheet first or all in one tent as a lot of Outwells are now.  By the way how long does it take you to pitch your Sassari, we have got it down to 1 hr down from 2 and a half hours. We hope we can get another 2 years out of our tent and we would be sorry to see it go.

Hi Mark,

I`d say it takes us roughly an hour to pitch and then another 2 to fill it with all the gear. We`ve more furniture in our tent than we do in our house First time we did it though it took hours. That was my fault as I`m not the most practical of people so I was more of a handicap than help to my poor hubby.

The sassari is our first tent and we have been really pleased with it. It`s withstood high winds when others around us have collapsed and it`s never leaked.

I agree with you about the all in one Outwells, they look great and when funds allow this will definately be our next choice. For the time being though we are more than happy with the sassari and just pray for a summer of good weather.
