Hi folks, just found one of these for sale with footprint and carpet thrown in, brand new for £85 which seems like a bargain. Can't find any reviews so would welcome any info or feedback anyone has about this tent. It might be ideal for my first tent if its easy to pitch solo.

Regards Steve

Hi there tx for your reply. According to the description it has a groundsheet for the living area but I can't tell if its sewn in or not... the only photo I have seen is quite fuzzy. The advert I saw definitely offers carpet and footprint for £85 and I presume the sleeping area has SIG but I don't know for definite as the manufacturers description doesn't say.

The reason for my post was because I couldn't find any reviews so any info on this tent is appreciated.

regards Steve.

Cheers for that Ritchie, very informative but not sure how easy it would be to pitch solo... me being a complete camping novice lol. The other tent I have looked at on the net today is the Vango Kairos 300/400 which according to the video does look easy to pitch. Many folks on here have said its better to see a tent pitched at a dealer or show so I need to find out where I can see one. Also not seen many reviews on it yet.

Regards Steve

I have seen the Kampa Shanklin 3 at Kool Kamping on their tent field. Looks an easy tent to pitch with only 3 poles. No its not sewn in so if it rained hard and was very windy it could blow in underneath and wet the carpet. I think they had it for £74.99.

probably not those models in stock but there will be about 25 - 30 other models which are usually copied from one manufacturer to another anyway
