Hi,we are also new to camping ourself,thats why im desperate to hear from someone who has used it,especially with the bad weather we are all having just now,would hate to be put of camping just because the tent could be wrong.....or am i just starting to stress to much.....i am starting to have nightmares that the rain is going to come in or the tent is going to blow away LOL(im losing my mind).....also i think we should start our own secret society,to hell with the rest of them LOL.

I bought one a few weeks ago and took it on its first outing to the Yorkshire Dales two weeks ago.
We endured some heavy rain and blustery winds, the tent was great, no leaks and it stood up to the wind without a problem. The tent was really easy to erect and has bags of space, I would highly recommend.

Bought one on Monday and putting it through its paces next week
Was a toss up between corado 6, monty 6 and arkansas 5. The Arkansas was a bit too small for the price, we decided that we didn't like the sloping doors on the monty and the fact that we had to spend an extra 100 squid on the extension. We didn't like the opening at the bottom of the door of the corado but its nothing a bit of sticky velcro won't improve, we decided on the corado because the price was too good to ignore

Thats great to hear pedro4,we are off tomorow for 9nights in our new baby lol,good to hear its easy to put up as we never got a chance for a test run,and like you Myk Ryt,we where between the corado and monty and chose the Corado for the same reasons and i have packed the sticky velcro for tomorrow for the bottom of the door,but i might be changing my mind about using it,through speaking to loads of people on here none have had any rain or creep crawlies come through the door,but the one thing they do say, it is very good for ventalation which helps to minimise the condensation in the tent in the mornings,so the more i thought about it,we can have it both ways if its to hot and to much condensation is happening them we can leave it open but if its to cold or windy we can velcro it shut......!

I wanted the Corado! Just couldn't justify it as we were supposed to be downsizing from a Royal Biarritz. It looked so good in g outdoors. I sat in it for ages trying to convince the OH we NEEDED the space. Love the windows in it. Sigh.

it took a few weeks of nagging (my turn to nag) but it paid off in the end... thought we had missed it on sale but there are a few go outdoors still knocking them out for 250....
Just done a quick practice pitch, it was easy to put up and everything is in place...
