Hi.

I like the look of this tent and it seems a good buy at £225.00 at Go outdoors.

Has anyone got one?

Thanks

Hi!

I have just ordered one of these!! I hope it's good but I thought at half the price of equivalent tents and a good branded name it was probably worth a shot! I ordered from 'Go outdoors' and they said there were only 12 left so I wouldn't leave it too long if you did want one as I searched online and couldn't find anyone whose price even came close!!

 

I am planning to use 3 of the bedrooms initially but this tent does allow for flexibility as the kids grow and bring friends, as with my 3 they can have a room each when all 4 are used. Seemed like a practical tent with lots of light and ventilation which is necessary in a poly/nylon type tent as they get hot and the living area of this one almost transforms into a gazebo type of affair!

I had a disaterous rainy trip this B/Hol weekend in a 'Rage Tromso' tent which leaked hence the purchase before our summer hols! Will let you know how I go! :o)

It does look like a well thought out design and that is a bargain price as it is usually around £300. We have a small Coleman and are very happy with the quality.

 

Do let us know how it turns out!

Hi Kay-t

We bought one of these from Go Outdoors at the weekend. Only pitched it in the garden so far but loved it - feels enormous especially with 2 bedrooms removed and the porch up. Although we are totally inexperienced campers we got it up in about an hour, but expect to half this next time when we know what we are doing.
There is a review of this tent on the review section if you hadn't already seen it
Cheers
Ruth
