Hello all,

 After many weeks of reading reviews and visiting showrooms, I have finally bought a Kampa Carbis 5 after seeing it pitched at Camperlands Northenden.

 However, there's no reviews of it on here (or anywhere as far as i can see). Was wondering if anyone has purchased this tent and could give me their opinions. All the Kampa reviews i've read all seem positive and score pretty high. I've a Vango at the moment but have to say the quality of the Kampa seems far better, i guess only time will tell.

Just purchased one ourselves this week-end, and have fallen in love with it. Only had a Halfords starter tent to see if we liked camping and was hooked  from the minute we arrived on the site. We must have looked at 500 tents before buying the Kampa and it will suit our family needs so well, hubby and me and 8 and 4 year old. Only had it up in the garden (took about an hour to pitch ) , but we're going away at the week-end and we can't wait. The best thing I like about the tent is the zip-off door, needed somewhere to cook and throw shoes etc. but love the space inside, hoping it brightens up before we go (not hopeful!!), but loads of room inside for the kids to play and us to chill-out. Enjoy your lovely new tent, when are you going away?

Hope you have a good week-end, we're away on Saturday to the North-East coast (near Hull), bit of a trek from Blackpool but it was cheap!!!  Will post our review when we get home next week. Fingers crossed for good weather, it was so hot and sunny last time and only problem we had was condensation (cheap tent, no ventilation). Taking lots of games and DVD's just in case this time but know there's loads of room for the kids to play inside. Let you know how we get on.
