Hi Cliff n Pat.

                  That's a whole lot of tent for the money, well done. this has got to be the best time of the year to buy a tent as you have proved, especialy if we believe all the reports of tent rrp's going up by over 20% for the 2009 season, time I was getting a tent that you can stand up in, me thinks.

Well done you! I am waiting for our Idaho XL to arrive from Yeomans (who ran out of stock whilst still advertising it on their website. They are having to get more stock in from Outwell to honour orders.) Can't wait to try ours out. Let us know what you think.

you did well there,My local Go outdoors checked the Yoemans site before price matching so wouldn't beat the Yoeman one by 10%. Had to resort to plan B and got it for 303.You did real well.

Cheers,I will be using a lot next year I think,Only just got the Idaho xl so need some pointers on other accessories soon. I am sure I will get plenty of advice on here.

Forums.........invaluable!

I'm new here too.  Our Idaho XL came yesterday from Yeomans, and crikey the pole bag is heavy!!  Cant wait to try it out but as its getting so cold at night we might have to wait until next year.  Its too big to try out in the garden so I might have to take it to the park as I want to be sure its all in  one piece!  We also got the front extension, out of interest do you know most campsites will take a tent of this size?  Our first tent was an Outwell Kansas 5, so tiny in comparison.

Thanks for the link Andi.  I get the impression some sites are more relaxed about their pitches than others.  We've only been camping twice in the Kansas 5, but are hooked, hence the bigger tent!  Really looking forward to next season.

Hi there, well the weather was so nice this weekend we tried the Idaho for the first time and we're not disappointed.  Easy enough to put up - took your advice Cliff which worked a treat.  Its huge inside the the kids loved it.  Took a few goes to get it back in the bag though! 

The first campsite we tried turned us away because of the size of it, though.  We should have checked first but was a very last minute decision to go away, but considering they were part of the Friendly Club, they weren't too friendly about it.  Still we found another site just down the road and they could not have been more helpful.  The weather was superb for October!  We only did one night but it really is a fab tent and can see us spending weeks in it next summer.
