I really love the new Cabana and am seriously contemplating parting with 3 of my tents in order to justify buying one (seriously think OH would kill me if I bought ANOTHER tent without selling some of the ones I already own!!)

Does anyone own one? I was wondering if there is a seperate bedroom pod in it or not?
Is there enough living space (from the diagrams on the web it appears to be only 1.2m deep?)
I would be using it with my 2 youngest boys (aged 10 and 5)
Could a short, fat, unfit mum pitch it solo?
How long would this take?

Ideally I would sell the Vango Green Tee 500, the Ontario 8 and the Licata 400 in order to justify buying it - would be such a cool festival tent!

Any comments or advice about the Cabana would be very much appreciated.

I HAVE !!! I HAVE !!! errr will try and put some pics on

easy as anything to pitch.. one centre pole. there are two poles either side of the door that hold it in a 'door' shape!! i dont have to duck at all (but i am only 5'!)

takes about 15-20 mins alone to pitch.

love it.. is soo cool and a lot bigger then i thought.. we leave the divider up in the sleeping pods and put in 2 double airbeds.. and all just bundle in!!! (ok so its just me and the younger 3 in this one.) but bought it just for quick getaways!

ok have just pitched it in garden for you.. on my own .. from it being in its bag to fully pegged out  = lessthen 10 mins.. and thats not trying to break the record!! but maybe as fast as you would try and do it if it were raining!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!
Those piccies just confirm I need to buy one! 
Appears to be much more spacious than I thought and I wouldn't have to duck to get through the door either, Tina!
Looks like it would be ideal for me and the 2 littlies if it's big enough for you and your 3 youngsters.
Think I need to get one for the Deershed Festival in July!

Seriously need to sell some tents now (anyone want to buy a Licata 400, Ontario 8 and a Green Tee 500?!!)

Where is the cheapest place to buy the Cabana?

I nearly bought that one when they first came out - they were on special offer for £50!

Seriously LOVE the Cabana though - think the camera will be coming out soon so that I can try and get some photos of my tents and get them listed on eBay!

That's very kind of you (any excuse to play with tents - plus it would be nice to meet another UKCS member!!)

I live in a tiny little village near Scotch Corner - which village do you live in?
So nice having another Northerner on the forum!!!

Can the Mods please pass on my email address to Chrissy (ibiza2009)?
