Dozy, when I first looked at your pics, I obviously noticed that two of the pics are lying on their side (!!!).
"Dozy by name....." I laughed to myself! "... But not the end of the world", I proclaimed.
I then proceeded to tilt my lap top screen 90deg, and the full glory of the pics were clearly evident. Why, If memory serves, I even took trouble to thank you for posting them.

HOWEVER.....

Getting excited about going away tomorrow in our new tent, last night, I decided to take another look at your pics, but this time, I was using Muckerette's viewing equipment.....

HAVE YOU TRIED CHASING A PICTURE AROUND 90DEG ON A BLOODY I-PAD!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, I wonder is the right person called Dozy - I have tried to chase pics round my i phone , but then I stopped and remembered I have a neck and can change position of that whilst keeping i phone still......

Enjoy your trip in your new Frinton- sure you will.

I'm going away next weekend , won't be using the Frinton (although I would like to ) as it will not be big anough for the 4 of us - taking the trailer tent this time. Possibly for the last time as I think I will be selling it.

Remember to take photos !!!  Mine (on the side) are not on their side on photobucket or my PC , turned on side being uploaded to here?????

the inner tent only keeps the living area more tidy looking, it cannot keep heat in as its only a thin material

The inner has a few uses, one is to keep any draughts away that might get in by the main tent door. The second and most important reason for using an inner is condensation. Condensation can build up on the inside of the flysheet and when the wind blows it will drop on to anyone who is sleeping in the tent not in an inner tent. If you use the inner tent drops can fall onto the inner tent, then soak into the inner then evaporate away again. Thirdly if you are not to keen on bugs (like me) the inner is great at keeping bugs, flying and crawling, away from you while you sleep.

Please remember that Kampa have no contract with you, you should always deal with the retailer who supplied the tent. As for the size of the inner tent against the size in the Kampa drawings being different, this is not un-common for any brand of tent, these things happen, un helpfull yes but this is why it is always best to buy a tent from your local camping store where you can see the tent up. Im not saying you did anything wrong really but I think my advise in the light of things makes sense.

I would also say by purchasing a tent from the UK when you live in Hungary is not a great idea. A tent is not like an ipad where you get a world wide warranty and you can then take it to any Kampa stockist etc, I doubt Kampa have any retailers/stockists in Hungary. I would think you saved some money by purchasing your tent in the UK but in the long run I think you should support your local camping store or at least one in your own country, that way if you have any problems it would be easier to sort out.

Can I ask what it is you are wanting Kampa to do...? The tent was discontinued some time ago, the inners are the size you have.

I am glad you have sorted the bed problem now, enjoy your camping.
