Ooh, I actually quite like the look of it, never thought I would say that as have a thing about pyramids and frames. Which shape do you think stands up better in weather? We are looking for a canvas tent for longer breaks, we're a family of 2adults+3 kids. Do you think it is ample enough?

Be interested to hear how you got on with pitching, please do let us know x

The big selling point of the Esvo was it's large semi enclosed porch (which offers a bit of weather protection and privacy without the need for windbreaks etc.), the price, and the fact that I already have an Esvo so was confident of the quality and customer service.

That's a great looking tent, and the semi enclosed porch is a big plus; I guess it will offer some protection from head-on winds, which might otherwise make an open-fronted canopy a bit vulnerable. You could also tuck things behind the 'wings (am thinking fridge etc). I like the 'wings' feature on the Biscaya and it's a feature that Cabanon didn't continue of the Awaya (I still love the Awaya, though!).

Looking forward to seeing the pics!

The organisers hang inside the tent either side of the doors, the kind of thing that would be standard on an outwell! To be fair though, they are a lot more sturdy and can hold some pretty big and heavy items.

Each side of the bedroom inner doors?

How do the bedroom inners suspend from the pole? Cabanon used plastic clips on their earlier Biscaya range (and on the Cancun) which clipped over the pole sleeve, but these used to flip off in high winds, when the poles were under stress, so were replaced with S hooks, which hook into a perforated tape, affixed to the pole sleeve (ie the pole sleeve supports the bedroom inners, not the pole itself).

Well, it does look like a fab tent and I like the organiser option - I wonder if these would suit other tents of this design? What colour are they? Presumably they have a curved top? When you have a go at pitching, do you think you could maybe measure them and post dimensions on here, please?

Thanks for the info!

If you don't mind me asking, TheWorth, are these organisers made from cream coloured canvas, the same as the tent? How big / substantial are the pockets?

Most organisers seem to have pockets which are too small to be really useful. The best one we ever had was made by Trio (awning manufacturers), and it was in heavy-duty, coated acrylic (same as caravan roof material). I've never seen one like it, since.

Thats a great looking tent, forwhatistworth.

I havent seen an Esvo up close, the quality looks fantastic.
