We had  our up last week and it was great.  Wind, rain even hail stones didn't make the tent budge.  We did make the mistake of not putting a peg in the front door (oops) and the front door has flapped in a bit! 

It was very snug and not water came in.  The porche was great for cooking in when the weather was really bad.  We have a side canopy that we normally use for the front, but the weather was so bad we didn't want to risk it.

What porch do you use? Is it a universal one for the whole outwell range. We have just got a Bear lake 4. Outwell don't seem to do any specific add ons for this tent...not even a carpet A porch would be nice.
Thanks

If you look at my gallery you will see that I use a side canopy on the front as it give extra cover in bad weather or sunny!   Doesn't your bear lake have a canopy on the front?

Yes but it is nice to have sides as well. Have decided to go with a Kitchen tent instead....to free up space under the sun canopy. Thanks anyway

I was in the new forest during the bank holiday wekend, whilst the other families we went with had swimming pools in their tents  we just had nice warm dry carpet.  It was our first outing in the NL and it was fantastic.  I had a dome tent last year and because I am 6'4" tall it was ideal.  The sleeping quarters are ideal for my height.

The tent was stable, dry and just excellent.
