Hi everyone,

So I have now decided that a Cabanon Guadeloupe might be the tent for me but there is nowhere near me where I can see one up. Do any of you have one and can you tell me if I could comfortably fit in a double air bed and a single air bed taking into account the slope of the roof and the pole inside? When made up with numerous duvets etc would these have to definately not touch the canvas to avoid leaks as there is no inner tent is there? I would be grateful to hear from any Guadeloupe owners as I dont want to make an expensive mistake - is it just me or is it easy to get carried away with the excitement of buying a new tent...

Thanks.

Hi, double airbed yes but not the single as well. Even with the double you maybe touching the sides with the bedding! No inner tent just a curtain divide.  Love my Guadeloupe & for 1 ideal. Living space is not huge either.

It's a lovely tent for 2, can you not put 2 single airbeds in instead of the double+single? My only concern with a double & single is it would be hard to keeping the bedding off the sloping sides & wouldn't it get wet if raining?

We have a Pyramide 6, so can say that that would be very straightforward for you to put up. The Barbados would be slightly harder work as it has a permanently attached groundsheet so you would be wrestling with the canvas and groundsheet all in one go, rather than separately as with the P6.

Both the Barbados and the P6 have the advantage for family camping that they have a dividing curtain in the sleeping inner.
