Hi Mimi08, We really liked the Winnipeg & if we could have received a non faulty one would have been really pleased with it.
In answer to your questions
What colour & year is your Kama Polzeath, some of the Kampa tents are blue & I would prefer the beige colours. Never heard of the Kampa range before you mentioned them & they do look lovely ! My Polzeath is 2010, cream with a brown stripe at the bottom.
As you've owned & errected the Royal Winnipeg could you tell me the differences in size between the two & would you say the quality of the fabric & ZIG is as good as the Royal (is yours sewn in or a zip in)? The Polzeath is definitely longer, but we owned a Sunncamp Vario 600 plus originally & they are a similar length. We don't really need the extra length, as we keep wardrobe & toilet in the annex. Also all food & kitchen items are kept in a seperate kitchen tent. So we mainly have 4 chairs, a table & the dogs bed in the living area. Which is why we originally bought the Winnipeg.
The zig is definitely a lot thinner & totally defferent material, more comparable to the Sunncamp sig, but more than adequate. I think I preferred pitching the Polzeath as it came already zipped on & was one zip all the way round which I didn't remove (It does form the bottom of the large opening doorway). After manhandling the Winnipeg zig & three zips into position, whilst hubby started pegging, I think its worth the lighter material to pitch as one. It did float a little with some of the winds we experienced but with with more weight/ objects in the tent this shouldnt be too much of a problem. I like space not clutter in the main part of the tent
Did you buy the Vestibule as an optional extra? No not sure we would need it, maybe a future purchase, but I did get the carpet & footprint in the deal. Carpet not as nice as the Winnipeg and as others have said the Polzeath is a missmatch of colours, blue carpet, grey inners, & fluorescent zips everywhere! Winnipeg is far better colour coordinated.
There are small things I would like to be different on both tents, but overall they are comparable & I like the side annex & require 3 seperate rooms, so there are not many tents which suit my requirements.
