The quality of the tents is good. We have owned one and seen almost all of them pitched.

The middle picture in my profile is a Hypercamp brighton (with hypercamp tarp)

Cottontex is a polyester cotton mix. It feels like cotton but dries faster and is lighter

Some have a SIG, some have  a ZIG and others have loose groundsheets. As far as I know, none have a bathtub

I have no hesitation in recommending Hypercamp tents

If you say which ones you like, I can tell you as much as I can from many visits to Obelink lol

Hope this helps

Thank you, that is very helpful.

I do envy you being able to visit Obelink, it looks like quite a place. We are interested in either the Palamos 6 or the Superieur 6 as shown in the link.

pyramid tent page

Is your Hypercamp tent cottontex and if so are you happy with this material? (looks very nice BTW I had a look at your pictures).

Oh I wish I could visit the shop and see the tents pitched.....

Obelink rocks ! And it is huge :)

The palamos 6 is nice. OH likes that one

The superior 6 is huge

Yes that tent in my profile is cottontex

Last summer it rained heavy and our pitch was muddy. The tent was really dirty and I was worried about getting it clean.

The following day the sun decided to make an appearence and the tent dried.

I got a soft cloth and dusted the muddy bits and it all came off. The tent was left looking like it had never seen mud

Reforse... there is no harm in emailing them (or even calling) and asking if they would consider delivery. Most Dutch people speak some English (apart from the older generation who didnt get taught it at school).

There is an English version of the site here that do some of the tent but unfortunatley not the large pyramids :(

Mrs S... Their bell tents are really good. They have them with SIG and without and also in 2 sizes. Cant think of anything simpler to pitch :)

I dont know where abouts in France you live but if I was you and was really interested then I  would pay a visit to Obelink. They usually have their tents in stock so you could have a look and then take it home.

You could even spend a night in Holland or Belgium on the way back to break your journey

Just an idea :)

You mean this one ?

Or a smaller one  ?

Both have a SIG

This does not have a SIG but it is amazing

If you are interested I would email them and ask if they will deliver to France.

Or if you want it done in Dutch then let me know and I will email or call and ask ok?

Angie

Whoops I forgot...

There is a Dutch guy on here called Freebird. He is very knowledgeable and has a bell tent from Obelink

If you post a message for him I am sure he will answer any questions you have :)

Just offer him a cookie and he will tell you everything lol

Angie

I would try in English. Most Dutch people speak some English so if you keep it simple then they should understand.

If you get no joy then holler and I will happily help.

The Hypercamp tarp is fab and it is big :)  It also comes with 2 thick heavy poles and plenty of guylines.

Packs tidily into a small bag :)
