Hi,

We recently passed up an Outwell Oregon 5 due to it being too small for us (family of 5 + dog), and not having the sewn-in-groundsheet.

We now have a chance to buy a 2007 Outwell Sun Valley 6 - which as per the owner has been used once and is immaculate. Only thing is, I can't find any pics/specs for the 2007 model. There aren't even any on ebay to find the info from :(

Is this a good tent? Owner said it has a SIG, but I think it has a bath-tub. Anything to watch out for on these tents?

Thank you,


Mike

Hi Mike have a look at my galley photos and feel free to ask any questions.
We have had ours since Sept 2007 and are over the moon with it.
It has an SIG,but the front porch has a clip in Bath tub groundsheet.We don't bother with that,just have a bit of breathable groundsheet instead.It take us about 20 minutes to put up.The windows are excellent,they can be zipped open just leaving the bug mesh in place,so on a warm day you get plenty of cool air blowing through.
Heres one or two more pics.

We have a 2007 Sun Valley 6 and think it's the bees knees!  A really fab tent!

It should stand up to wind & rain no problem.  When we pitched the night before this pic was taken it was raining, but there was no standing water on the ground.  Parts of the puddle (lake? - it awnt completely under the groundsheet, too) were about 3 to 4 inches deep.  We stayed bone dry inside - and that was with the worst sustained rain I think I have ever experienced.  (the loose guys you can see were the points where the ground just gave up on the pegs - nothing wrong with the tent...)
