hello again,went to atwools today to see coleman darwin5-couldn't help ourselves and bought one+free coolbox

spent about 2hrs trying to shoehorn it into our back garden,well it's now up and most of our flower beds and borders are destroyed-ho,hum

going to swanage next weekend to try it out,will let you know how it goes.

have to say the build quality looks fantastic,makes our sunncamp evolution look fairly pathetic(although can't fault it)

cheers

Hi there

Would be very interested to see how you go with Darwin on the weekend. Looked at one today and liked it, especially large bedrooms but couldnt work out where i could cook inside (although I realise that its always tricky in a tunnel tent). Have you worked out what you'll do?

newbie here and ive been looking at buying this tent.

let me know how you get on with it- pro's and con's.

hello mum007,fairly new to this myself-but ithink your not supposed to cook in tent.

i guess we will cook under the front canopy,which is held up with two steel poles and guy ropes or there's always the the local pub ho,hum

will let you know how we get on - going to adults only site near ringwood,should be peaceful with no kids running about

can't face looking at weather report!!

Just looked at this tent a few mins ago, very nicely made, big bedroom for the 2 of us, room for table and chairs easily in the living area and mesh doors which is a major plus for the lakes and Scotland. This now goes onto my own shortlist.

Looking forward to a review after you have had it a while

I think you could probably cook at a push in the living area if it was raining but I wouldn't make a habit of it anyway as apart from the fire hazard you risk damaging the fabric with hot steam or smoke.

Buy a utility tent to go with or alternatively buy a canvas frame tent instead if you want to cook indoors all the time.
