Hi all,

although we have a nice big tent I have a desire for a pop up style tent.

it will probably be used for me and my two boys for just an overnight stay but on (very) rare occasions mum will join.

I know the 3 seconds have a big following but they seem to be out of stock so i considered the outwell jersey (bigger than the 3 second) or even the twister 4 which would be big enough for all of us.

 

how easy is the twister  to put up?

is it worth the extra cash

 

as ever thanks in advance

Hi there,

         Not sure if you mean the Gelert Twister 4 tunnel or not, if it is the twister is more fiddley to put back into its bag as you have to role it forward bit by bit

Dont know if thats any help, but I'd get a Jersey M its a piece of cake up and down and its massive inside

cheers

P.S - Gelert are not well known for there quality

Just been to Yeomans tent show at Stapleforth and the Outwell Jersey M is huge. Obviously this is relative because they did have some monsters up, but it was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. Bit disappointed with the Outwell Arizona which had some wind damage (one of the poles was bent out of shape and the tent had collapsed). Glad I went though because this was one that was recommended by someone as easy to put up - looks like its easy to put down as well !!!!

thanks for that,

went to decathlon in thurrock and the largest 2sec xl was £59

I am going to eurodisney next week so I may see if there is a decathlon between calais and ED if they are much cheaper otherwise I may as well go for the outwell

 

thanks
