I'm thinking of buying the Arkansas 7, but would like to find out some info on the bedroom configuration. Are the 3 bedrooms all completely separate or can the dividing curtains/walls be removed completely, or partially. The 360 view on Outwell website makes it look like a zip on the right divider, but not the left one..

Hope you can help (and save me £699)

David

We have the Arkansas 5, which only has 2 rooms which are separated with a zipped in divider.  However as it zips to the floor as well there is  a 'ridge' of fabric, which isn't too practical if you need the sleeping pods as one. 

We needed the 2 bedrooms anyway as its taken us 9 years to get DS into his own bed!.

Unfortunately I don't know about the Arkansas 7 third bedroom. Have a look under the tent review, there may be a bit more info?

Yeomans have a tent display near us from 8am on 31st March. Knowing me I will probably be able to answer your question by 8.05am!!

I don't need another tent. I can't afford another tent. But I'll be there.

I hadn't forgotten about you; it's just that I only got to the camp/tent display this afternoon.

...and would you believe it: the Arkansas 7 was about the only tent that they sell that was not on display, just the Arkansas 5.

Sorry.

Hi there.  We have an Arkansas 7, and yes all 3 bedrooms have dividing rooms that can be zipped away; one goes up, while the other goes sideways, but both have toggle arrangements to keep them away.  We have 2 young children and wanted to see them at night, hence this was a big deal to us.  As they get older, you can always zip them back.  The bedrooms each fit large air beds (one queen size) and make lovely bedrooms. 

We purchased ours from Yoemans in Royston; Sarah and her team are briliant and gave us a deal on the whole package (tent, extra groundsheet, carpet and windbreak).

This tent is simply excellent, and dare I say is probably makes the best use of standard pitch size.

One more tip, use a bit of copper slip on the poles when you use it for the first time (be careful not to spill any); I have never had trouble getting the poles apart thereafter.

Thanks Jane. Since this thread was first started we have been and bought the Arkansas 7 along with the awning, carpet and groundsheet. We did have to travel to camping world in Sussex to see one erected. Yeomans only erected the Arkansas 5. We did visit the store you bought your tent from.
We have been to a local campsite to practice erecting the tent. Have now decided to ignore the Outwell website video and try to do it our own way. End of tent where bedrooms are was very saggy, so hope we can make a better job next time. Poles were also difficult to pull apart so may use the copper slip you mentioned.

Thanks

David
