I will note that the Cabanon curtains don't compare to some of the eye-gouging affronts to taste that pass for interior design in static caravans.

Maybe they have older styling because by the time you've saved up for one you'll be retired! 

I know they are great tents and practicality is most important but why can't we have looks as well? 

Just don't get me started on caravan awnings! What is with the fake leaded window lines?

Buy a new diablo with orange interior for that 70s feel

Sapper, a quick question; how do you find your Montreal? Is it as quick and easy to pitch as a conventional frame tent? As sturdy? How well ventilated?

Seriously, I wonder how many folk who presently own a synthetic are tempted to try a canvas tent?

i think i would like one they are quality,but i would not like to put it away after a soaking and then forget about it,mind you at that price i think it would be top priority to get it dried,but some of the designs look very boy scoutish,,,,(i was an air cadet myself) if i had plenty of dosh i would go for the big expensive tunnel type ,or nissen hut

OK, as the starter of the 'floral' comment, I concede. However, adding so much personality is always a dangerous game. If they had been plain, it would be less likely to cause offence.

I can see a practical reason for the striking bold patterns - privacy. Given that frame tents usually have large windows to cover, I would imagine that these are much more effective at breaking up outlines and "shadow puppet shows" than a plain design would be.
