i have just ordered this tent as i am fed up with the pro action one we have, which i am going to take back to argos at the weekend. from what i can make out it is exactly the same as the gelert horizon 6 so the gelert porch should fit it, before i buy the porch does any one know if it will defineatley fit?

also has anyone ordered stuff from family camping supplies as they are offering the best price on the porch

Have you read this thread?

Might be of interest.

Think it does have windows as it's the same as the Horizon just rebranded, but they are quite small! (see pic)

Hi Lucywil

We are going for the first time this weekend camping with the HiGear Zenobia and porch will let you know how we get on. We are going to Angelsey for 5 nts and the site is prone to high winds so should be a good test for the tent and porch.

Hi lucywil

We went to Angelsey and the Zenobia stood up to gale force winds. 6 tents crumbled but ours managed to stay the course. Not sure if this was pure luck in where we had pitched, or the delta pegs we used, but it also rained hard and we were snug and dry the whole time.

In regards to the porch we couldnt have managed without it. In those conditions it was used for stripping off (not literally,lol) before we got into the tent leaving muddy wellies and wet coats in the porch.  I was in 2 minds about purchasing the porch but I am so glad I did.

Also I noticed the other thread re the windows and making it dark in the main tent. The Zenobia has a cream roof and it didnt seem as dark as I think the Gelert Blue models are which have blue roof. Granted the porch roof is green but with the cream roof of the tent it didnt seem too dark.  We personally didnt mind the window being part blocked and there are 2 other windows on the other side of the tent.
