We bought a Relum Canaria 4 a good few years ago, and sold it to buy our trailer tent.  How many times have I kicked myself for getting rid. It could stand up to anything the weather threw at it, I especially remember being battered for a whole week, one late September down in WhiteAcres, Cornwall. 

Its basically a frame tent, light cream colour with orange/brown/red trim with steel poles. It had  a one door opening  with a ventilated kitchen area.  The single bedroom was at the back, ours was plenty big enough for two, including all our kit etc.  The canvas on it was excellent quality.

Depending how much they want for it, I would snatch their hand off. We went to the Codicote camping show yesterday and was surprised to see very similar new frame tents there for £400.  I think they are making a bit of a come back.  They last for years if properly looked after.  The only draw back really is the size of them.  Usually two bags, one for the poles and tuther for the tent. 

Go for it I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Thanks for the recommendation. I found a pic -



and I think it will do the two of us nicely as a starter tent, if it's in half-way decent condition. I'll find out on Wednesday.

Excellent tents: every bit as good as Cabanons.

Take care

Well, we now own a tent! It's in brilliant condition - looks like it's only been used a few times - and it's probably a sensible size for two. I'll get some pics next time it's up. A sun canopy would be nice.
Hmm!
