Hi, I have a Cabin 300 which I bought to try and persuade my sister to come camping this year. (See my review.) I did think it would be great for me and my Jack Russell too if I couldn't get my sister out, but the downside for me is that the front doors (the outer door and the mesh door) don't zip across the bottom edge, so Lily (that's the dog, not the sister) could escape. I also have a real wasp phobia. So I've just (yesterday) given in to temptation and pre-ordered the Outwell Oakland M, which has a completely sealable door. It has a neater profile than the Robens which is quirky to look at, in a good way.
The Cabin 300 doesn't have a cable entry point, or hanging point for a lantern. The Oakland M does. The Cabin is flat sided and boxy, so very spacious and you can get in and out and have the doors open in the rain, the Oakland's walls slope, so less spacious and when you open the door when its raining it will let some rain in.
Both tents are fantastic quality and build, easy to pitch and strike and both should keep you camping in a high degree of comfort. The Robens is, I'm told, slightly more exclusive, but useless for me if it lets Lily out and wasps in!
My sister completely refuses to entertain the idea of camping (she thinks campers are all mad), so I've reluctantly put the Cabin 300 in the for sale adverts here.

Is it Friday yet?
