Would it be possible to twin a Quechua base seconds 4.2 + a Quechua 2 seconds IIII?

If yes, would any rain come in if the adjoining doors were left open in 'normal' rain - not monsoon downpours!

If anyone has a picture of this setup I'd be eternally grateful!

Hmmm....

There are lots of Quechua twinned setups in the gallery I believe, but possibly not of this combination.

Your talking about the original style "pagoda" looking 4.2?

Anyway.... with either 4.2 it wont be a nice and "true" dock with the tents.

The eyebrow opening of the 4.2 would cover the doorway of the 2 Sec IIII to a small degree if it was positioned right next to the entrance..... but this would be a pain as it would hinder the doorways of both tents as they both only have one door.

To be honest, the only way I cant think of is to bodge a tarp over the top of the 4.2 that also goes over the front of the 2 Sec IIII. Quechua (as well as others) sell tarps that might be adapted.

Sounds complicated but in truth would be pretty easy with a bit of patience and lateral thinking.

However, another Quechua owner might be along with a better idea soon enough!

(The Base Seconds full could probably dock them both together too... but things start getting costly with the Full priced at £159.99.....)

Planned for next year, hopefully!

Summer Solstice wild camp.

Crantock, August. Fouth year with the fantastic Quechua Base Seconds 4.2!
..... and the odd night wild camping in my Argos 1 man tent...

I have a 2 sec +1111 bought last week because they are down from £99 to £74 asked to see it with the base full as we wanted a versatile W/e set up and that looked good, but we decided against the base full after seeing all the stock decathlon have.
I think it will come up as a special offer in the near future

Oooh... that would be amazing!

I bought a 4.2, but I thought from the pictures (wrongly!!) that it had two doors. Had thought I could pop the other one on the back door. Oh well. It's a lovely tent. Folded first time. Will watch out for the base prices to hopefully fall!

Thanks Finnboy.. have a gazebo and a utility tent too, so maybe I could erect a little tent village on a campsite that charges per person!

Unfortunately you can't twin a 4.2 and a Seconds IIII. You'd need to go for the Base Seconds Full or Full XL with the 'wings'. With regards to the stock of the Seconds Full, I think it totally depends on your local store and personally after just re-introducing them this year, I can't see prices falling this year anyway...

Got told by the store manager when I went to look at the seconds III that the seconds IIII would never be reduced as it was one of their best sellers and had never been reduced before two weeks later £99 down to £74
