does anyone have one of these?

We were looking at it for a weekend tent, therefore wanted to know is it roomy enough for 2 adults and 4 kids and also is it quick pitching time - looks like a case of rolling out, few poles & pegging in?

Any advice, or suggestion of a weeknd tent would be appreciated.

Main needs to sleep 6 - altogether or as a 4/2 SIG, would prefer good HH but not essesntial as only for fine weekends

Thanks in advance
Natx

Hi Nat...

I have one of these that we use for weekends and short breaks.. Personally I think its a great little tent, well its actually not that little. There are usually 5 of us when we use this tent and there is plenty of space.. the sleeping area can be divided into 3 rooms of 2 compartments or you can have a 4 & 2 or we just take all the dividers down and have 1 large area.. there is enough room at your feet to put clothes bags etc too! If it helps any we use self inflating mats and sleeping bags, which take up less room than airbeds. The living area is very roomy too.. plenty of space for table, chairs, cooking equipment etc..

Hope this helps...

Sharon. x

Just gettin the outer up I would say bout half an hour? First time prop bit more. Then its just a case of hanging your inner bedroom area which is dead easy, and then transfering your stuff across...

Its all colour coded the poles .. so really simple and straight forward

Hope this helps

It looks exactly the same as the wynnster mallard 6 which we have currently. About as easy a tent to pitch as you could find and fab and roomy :)

We have a Galeria 6, and although we find it ideal for us when it is up, we battle every time with putting it up - even when the weather is dry and not windy!
As so many users seem to find it really easy to erect, I should be very grateful for any hints on the order.
We start by threading all the poles in.
What do you do next? Flex them all? Peg down back or front?
Peg one side first, or do both sides of each pole in turn? And what about having doors open or zipped closed?
Each time we use it, we think we have thought of a better way, but still end up struggling.
Any advice gratefully received.

i used to have the galeria 4 and from memory it was fairly easy to pitch, like any tunnel tent, the most time is taken from putting poles together and threading them through. i'm sure you could fit 6 in it, but not in air beds.

I own a Galeria 4 and it's a superb tent but I found it much harder to erect for some reason than my Tigris 4 which is a doddle and so is the Zenobia 6 which is much bigger. The innards hanging instructions I thought were confusing and that's why I don't really use it, but it is definitely a superb tent and so roomy, it's probably the best of all my tunnels but it's hard for me to erect on my own.

A Vango Icarus 500 or 600 will be up in 15 minutes and is alot of tent for the money.
