After a couple of years of using and really enjoying our Outwell Minnesota 4 with the Vango closed extension on the front we are finally going the polycotton route.
There's only the two of us but we like the space and with the extension on the current tent the overall sizes are very similar.
Got an S-Max and roof box so space is not a worry either, (even though we do manage to fill it up).
Waiting for delivery, then I'll put it up in the garden to make sure it's OK.
Roll on next year.

Aw poor you having to wait till next year to use it, we were the same, bought our biscaya at the end of the season it was sheer purgatory waiting to use it for teh first time.
But I did have a big smile everytime I thought of it up in the loft waiting for its; first trip!
Very nice tent the "Outwell Wolf Lake 5", we almost bought one having viewed one over at "Don Valley Camping" back in September 2008, but then we stumbled across the "Cabanon Biscaya 370" in "All Season Polyester" whilst viewing the WL5, we then discovered that the Biscaya 370 was also available in "Cotton", so the search began.
We eventually found a "Cotton" Biscaya 370 at Catterick Caravans, it was a dam lucky find as they had them on clearance brand new in the bag for just £699 we got the last one.
Like you there are just the two of us that go camping now, and the Biscaya 370 is the exact same size as the Wolf Lake 5 albiet just a few cm larger.
We just love all the space, and we even turned the spare bedroom into an en-suite c/w running water!.
Hi, I had the same a few months back with a tent I bought off Ebay and then a message from their 'Loss prevention department' that the seller had been removed.
However the tent arrived just fine a day or to later, so there is still hope.

Hi Smiler, if you are still looking for a Wolf lake 5 have a look at Go Outdoors, they have just reduced the prices of their remaining stock, plus if you put the voucher code 'NOVSP2013' you get another 15% off!
This will take the price down to £657 with free delivery (also if you are familiar with Quidco the there is the potential of an additional 5% off i.e down to ££624)

Tent arrived yesterday, and have just checked on Go Outdoors and not only is it back up to £950, the free delivery has stopped, and the only collect in store is Loughborough!
So thank's again jackuk.
