has anyone bought one of these as they are in the sale at the moment for £53? It says they have 2 bedrooms but the ground sheet is not attached and I just wondered if the ground sheet was attached in the bedrooms and not in the middle area on had no sewn in ground sheet at all.   We have an enormous tent and are looking for something a bit smaller for if it is just 4 or 5 of us going away but we still want 2 bedrooms. we would only use this one for fair weather weekends so any other suggestions on a good buy would be great.

Cheers.

It means that the living area groundsheet is not attached , but the bedrooms will have a sewn in groundsheet. Mixed reviews on argos tents, do a search on pro action tents, quality is not as good as well known makes,it won't be as good as your aztec,  but for fair weather weekends it may be okay. Then again, you can't guarantee fair weather for a whole weekend either.

Hi, I cant help you with the Pro action six man tent, but we have the pro action twelve man tent from argos. To be honest with you we are looking for a new tent, but only because I suffer with "tent envy". Our pro action tent has been fabulous value, we have six kids and a dog and we have been away twice for two week holidays in our £129.99 tent!!! Once we had really bad weather and it did us proud!!

Hope that helps

Having used a 6 man Pro Action (2 bedroom) tent for 5 years I am now ready to move up the ladder. Its been in some right storms but just never seems to want to leak. I feel a bit sorry to let it go, but the time has come. I want to go for EHU to speed up cooking and the Pro Action just is not big enough.

However, I do remember one massive 24hr downpour and a Pro Action 9 berth tent a few pitches down complained his tent leaked. I went to have a look and shock horror, there was no sealing tape at all on the seams! No wonder it leaked.

I have a pro action continental 6.  only used it 3 times and during this weekends weather  2 of the poles snapped!!! Not impressed with quality, especially if weather turns bad.
