Well at least you're honest.Fair play to Aldi,at least you can get something else now.I reckon they must have sold quite a few,perhaps you have been one of the un lucky ones.Hope you have better luck on your next purchase.

Someone else on here got the same tent and they were real happy with it but... it is not uncommon to find some that are no so good.

Unlucky but at least you got your money back.

Good luck with your next purchase.

There are always plenty of bargains to be had :)

Hi,

I can't comment on this tent, but I bought the previous tent they did, and for the first three days it rained non stop.  We only had one drip, and this was where we hung the lantern from the roof hook. As already mentioned, at least you can buy and try with a very quick refund if not happy.

My personal choice for a budget tent would be the Vango Aspen, Five or Seven model, great deals available on this tent at the moment.

We camped in ours this weekend and it leaked we were really dissapointed o/h says we should just get sealent but i think maybe we should return and get exchange

Hi, we bought one as a weekend / overnight tent. Tried for first time at camp site nr Haltwhistle. No problems with leaks despite heavy rain and gusty breeze during the night.

On the tent itself ,think it has a nice feel and a versatile layout, the tent tidies are particularly usefull. Bedrooms are really a little small to be classed as doubles, we removed dividers to accomodate queen size and double size airbeds. Construction quality is not quite as good as some ot the premier brands but for the cost appears to offer good value for money.  Regarding  leaks around zips although we had no problems it could do with extra velcro patches on lower section of storm seals as wind can blow these back and expose zips. Also pitching in a gusting wind was not as easy as expected (maybe this will improve with a bit practise)
