Hi, does anyone have one of the new Royal Dayrooms?  The tent reviews are from the older, hexagonal model (which looked and sounded great). 

Can't really justify the expense of an Outwell unfortunately

Hi,

Did you ever get one of these, i'm seriously thinking of getting one, they look very nice.

Many thanks,

Mark

Hi mate,

I brought the new one about a month ago and tried it out last weekend. Very sturdy when up, my only real critism is that 2 of the 4 side panels are clear PVC which seems to get very hot. Still it'll suit my needs and not badly priced.

If you want to know anymore let me know, got some pics too if any use,

Cheers,

Mark,

Can the door(s) be opened up on poles and used as a canopy?

My honest answer is i'm not 100% sure! You def don't get the poles with it to do this but I can't see any reason why you couldn't get some poles & do it yourself.

As you can see from the pics, we had ours linked to another dayroom so the door in the middle was hooked up although  not as a canopy. Sorry not to be more helpful,

We had about 4 adults last time we put ours up, 1 on each corner & it was up within minutes. Grab a couple of people from round you on the site, most people will be happy to help. The problem when these are new is that there is no give in the material which makes them even harder to put up. After a couple of goes the material will loosten up an bit making it easier to put up.

Thanks Mark. I can understand what you are saying about it being new, the plastic windows were all stuck to each other and I had to gently peel them away before we started.

I struggle with our main tent to get the pins into the steel poles on my own because I am not very strong and I think I am going to have the same problem with the Dayroom. I feel better knowing its not a nightmare to put up though and with OH helping I am sure it will be fine.

Hi ANGEDAWS

I know nothing about the Daytent, but I do have a great tip for getting the pins in (picked up on here I may add)

When the tent is upright, seperate the bottom section of the pole and pop the pin in the loose section; then snap the pole back together - much easier than struggling with the pin (and a lot less dangerous ouch!). Hope that makes sense!

 yes this method is spot on
