Can anyone recommend this tent the KAMPA FRINTON 5?

I have been batteling the OH for a new tent after our sprung a leak on our last outing I would love a Montana 6 but the budget wont allow it :-(

So I have found the above tent for £329.00 but would love to hear what people think before I take the plunge!

Thanks

Hi

I know you might expect me to say its great being a retailer but the Frinton is great. The fabric lasts so much longer than any of the other polyester tents we have on show. The darker bedrooms work so you dont wake up to early in the morning. I bet you do not get one bad review or comment.

We talked some friends into buying one and they are over the moon with it. The quality is excellent especially for the price

The 100 denier flysheet of the Frinton will naturally have potentially double or more the UV life of the standard 75 denier flysheet and is more tear resistant too. The quality of all the materials, poles, finish etc are also top end. The higher quality materials mean that the tent is a little more bulky and heavy than the equivalent 75 denier tent, but IMHO is a very good investment! The side porch also makes it very flexible and its nice not being woken so early.

The quality of design and materials in our Kampa Bude 4 (which was in Kampa's Ultimate range with the Frinton last year) is notably higher than that of the competition and yet still very reasonably priced.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

We've just bought one. We're going on a trip this weekend and I'll review it properly after but we pitched it in the garden and I had a night in it to try it out.

It's a really nice tent. The fabric is lovely and heavy. I'm always scared around my tents because I'm quite clumsy and I think I'm going to fall over and rip it to bits but I think I would just bounce right off this bad boy. It is reassuringly huge and heavy when packed up - only for car camping!

It's massively tall, so much so that we can hardly reach the top of the front door to roll it up. It means loads of room inside though. Very little wasted space in the sloping sides. Also, it's a skoosh to put up. Plus the porch is mahooosive.

I could go on. I'm basically in love with it. Yes, I'd recommend it. Hope you like it too :)
