Do a search on the tent on this site, there has been negative and positive reports. A number of sites charge more for large tents.

If you look at UK Caravan and camping site FORUM you will a thread with sites that take large tents.

I personally would take the tent back to Argos and research for another tent before parting with your money.

hi, my friend has that tent, and it is very big, she came away with us in her tent this bank hol weekend, although it did hold up to the bad weather, meaning it didnt collapse, some of the guy ropes were ripped off, and it also leaked quite badly

i have just looked at the argos site, ad its on offer at the moment, if you paid £114 quid, it may be a bargain, but personnally i would spend out on a good quality tent, you get what you pay for , and your money will be wasted if you find its crap and have to buy another one anyway, you can get some good name tents on ebay at competitive prices

sorry if i sound a bit blunt,but at the end of the day you get what you pay for.if you buy cheap you get cheap and £114 for a 12 man tent is very cheap.usually argos have a 28 day refund policy on most of there goods,so if you can, id get down there and get a refund and maybe shop around for something better.
