Hi All,

I have never been camping before, and we have just brought a COLEMAN MACKENZIE 8 BERTH can anyone tell me if this is a good tent?

 

Thanks

We have the 4 berth version off your tent, very easy to put up, massive windows, biggest windows I have seen on a tent, well ventilated, and it has to us, the all important SIG. The zip on porch awning on ours is a very big, it is bigger than the stock photos of it, has one fibreglass pole and at the end a steel pole, dunno if it is the same for your 8 berth version. We bought it for Holidays in France and Spain, so ventilation was important to us, going to use it next week in France, according to the long range weather forecast, we might see how it performs in the rain!!!!!

thanks so much for all the information, its so helpful, I have to say one of the reasons we went for this one was the nice big windows, we are trying it out in scarborough this weekend so we may well get to find out how it stands up to the rain too!!!

Sorry to sound a bit thick but what does SIG mean???????
