I guess it's a bit late because I already bought it but opinions would be greatly received on this tent:

My new tent

Me, my hubby and our 2 kids (6 & 4) are going camping for the first time next week-I can't wait!

I had a tent from Halfords when I first started out and it lasted a couple of years.

Don't worry, that's a really good price to get you started and see how much you enjoy camping before you look at serious tents and other equipment 

I would suggest putting it up in the garden before you go just to make sure you are happy with how it goes up and to spot any problems the tent may have (not that it should)  Worst place to  find out you have a duff tent is at the campsite.

Enjoy your trip I bet you have agreat time

Sneak out when they are in there and test the water proofing with the hosepipe

Check that the airbeds fit in the inner tent.  There was a post on here last year by someone who had bought a kit and the airbeds wouldn't fit.

Hi
You bought all that for less than the average pitch price for a week. It as to be a good deal, the lightweight tent experts on here would recommend that you seal your seams before you take it on holiday,
