Hi,

We have the Colorado 800 dlx and it's is great. It is well manufactured and designed, the living and porch area give plenty of day room if it rains.

Pitching is pretty simple although it does takes over an hour with all the guy ropes etc. The only down side is the size our 800 dlx has a massive footprint so the 1200 will be huge.

We have just returned for a long holiday with the tent and it became a real home from home you will love it.

Hi,

We have the 1200DLX and cannot sing its praises enough. We've had ours for 4 seasons now (at least 6 trips per season) and it's still going strong with no need to look for a replacement or repair it yet

Pros: 3 big bedrooms (each fit 2 double airbeds!), 3rd bedroom optional so if you only need to use 2 at any time you have a huge living area and it only takes 1 minute to fit the 3rd if you have your older kids staying for the odd night etc., incredibly stable in wind once up (the tightening straps pull the fly sheet right down to the ground

Cons: can take a long time >1 hour to put up, I can't quite stand up in the front porch area, big footprint but not found a campsite with pitches too small yet!

Hope that helps!
