Doe anyone use two of these as a complete set up? I have one at the moment with a bedroom inner and wondered if I brought another I could "twin" them and use for quick weekends away. We are a family of 3 (DS is 7)

Thanks

Polly.

Hi pitchperfect

Yes I went in and got one and the inner and they wanted to charge me £70, I showed them your post and got them for £60!
I then decided that if i had 2 I could twin them...went back to Reading all gone, then decided to order another from Surrey quays, £10 cheaper! So ordered 2!!:-) I now have 3 and can't decide whether 2 keep all 3 and use the 3rd as a utility tent ( I have an outhouse already:-) or take it back or sell it on...
Did pitch mine in the lounge too, am debating whether to put all of them up in the garden and a have a look..
Got the groundsheets too. 1st trip end of April, tempted to take base but maybe a bit draughty... Decisions decisions:-)

I personally haven't used two, but people have done. See pitchperfect example above. From reports I've read they work really well, and don't leak or be drafty.

I have two tents which are twinned so I have a bedroom and a social area.

There are more comments and photos in the tent review area: Tent Review

The trouble with getting it right first time is nobody appreciates how difficult it is!
