Decided I needed a Cabanon, mentioned it on here a few times recently.

Well today whilst browsing and learning more about them, I noticed that one I had been watching to see how high it went, and also fairly local, about seventy five miles, had had a buy it now placed on it, strange as they were already getting bids. So I offered the BIN price, and I am now the new owner. Feels real good to own a Cabanon. They offered to errect it in the garden, but I had seen pictures and it looked ok. It's now sat in my lounge waiting to be pitched tomorrow afternoon. Don't ask for pictures please, as I can't post them.

Oh yes, from my browsing on Cabanon porn sites, I believe it to be an Eloise. Not the exact model I wanted, but near enough. I've also decided that I want a Latitude or similar, using one sleeping pod, so freeing up the other side of the tent, for solo camping.

       STRANGE.   I posted this in the camping under canvas section, and it was there, next to builders bum post. Now it's on here.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

Thank You Duffs54

Having  had an afternoon pitching it, I now know it to be an Estoril, so even bigger than I thought, with three sleeping areas.

Well done Raf.... Congratulations on your "win"

What colour is your one? ...I really like the blue and beige ones with the blue and green curtains... Does yours open up into one big bedroom space??

Would love to see some pics... I'm sure if you sent them to someone on here, they'd be glad to post them for you

Excellent Raf - good purchase - the Estoril is a great tent.

There have been several Lattitudes on Ebay recently. Also look out for the Adventure - similar sytle and again you can use just one bedroom pod for solo camping - mine was great at February - there have been some going really cheaply on Ebay recently - mine is the bottom pic in my gallery. Another to consider for solo camping is the Calais or Atlantic. If you want any more info on any of these just shout and I'd be happy to post pics on here if you email them to me -

Going to try and post replies in chronological order

duffs54 Cheers

cathyh   can't post picturers

Zeelees   This ones not for solo camping. It's for when I camp with SWMBO only about twice a year.  She did mention having a couple of days in it just to try it out though.

3madboys   It's mainly blue and silver with green round the windows. It has three seperate sleeping pods. One for me one for SWMBO and one for clutter

fostermum   Thank you for photo offer. I was looking at those as well, but like the style of the latitude.

mzzy  Very similar, but no kitchen extension on the side.

9iron,  can't do pics yet

It took me six goes to post the above, each time I checked back on something, it had all disappeared
