Hi all, I have the quechua 3 man xl tent and am looking to add a living area to it and viewing the above.  Does anyone have one?   What do you think?  Where's best price from apart from Decathalon?  What tent carpet would you recommend?

Gladly listen to your views and look forward to getting them....

 

mum of 2, gran of 1,

Quechua is a brand of decathlons, you can get them on eBay but at a much higher cost. I have the base seconds and I love it. It makes a good sized day room/kitchen.

Hmm cant get prices up or chose store on decathlons site, must be having issues. Noticed tho they have reintroduced the green base seconds and the beige or brown options on the seconds base full. Pitty they havent done a flat access version like the new family seconds 4.1 and 4.2 standard and XL.

The site was working ok other day and showing in stock. That was for Stockport. Was hoping to get there today but can't now.

This has just popped up on their web-site:

I have the base FULL which is the one that docks with the pop ups

Good idea but a pian in the proverbial when you need to get out fast for that early morning loo run!!!.

You have to exit the pop up and you're kinda crouched under the hood that protects the pop up from rain. Then you either have to wiggle thru the gap at the side then rush to the loo.( my usual method LOL) Or to be more correct you need to open the base, and get in. then cross it and open the other side to get out. It really is a bit of a palava I think

When twinned with the 4.2 we used to leave the connecting doors open at night as onece its twinned proper nowt gets in anyways as the door on the base twinned is closed plus youve got doors on your pods to keep bugs out.
Family seconds 4.2XL measurements is on the decathlon site page just click the pictures till you find it.

thats fine with two bases or base and 4,2 but with a base and a pop up there is a gap between them. even if the pop up is right against the base there is a still a gap meaning doors need to be closed. And then opened when you need to get out for the first desperate loo run. It's the main drawback to the base and pop up combo in my opinion.

Thats the same as our set up and it's never been warm or calm enough to leave the doors open :(
