Seriously thinking of buying one...(2 adults, 2 kids plus dog) Does anyone know if the main entrance into living area (not porch) has a mesh door? I know the side ones do, so hoping so but want to check. Any one got one who can share the advantages and disadvantages?

Presume this model will still feature next year too?

Thank you guys

Brill, thanks. Are you saying the 2016 model has mesh main door as I have seen on another forum that the 2015 model does not on main door but does on side doors. Sorry, just want to be sure as I have never seen the model in the flesh!

The 2016 has, to be fair I cannot remember if the 2015 has but we do have the 500 on show so I'll have a look when I'm back in tomorrow. I'm not sure you will even get a 2015 as I think they are sold out everywhere.. Look to pay £500-£550 for the tent, carpet and footprint next year as a package

Cross Camping - thank you so much. Really helpful. We have the Calisto and will make do this season and will purchase a new one next year. We may even try and make it to the Feb show so we can see the new range in the flesh! :-)

No mesh door on front entrance of my 2015 Taiga 600xl - shame, it needs one!

The Orava - fibreglass poled version of Taiga is meshed on all 3 doors and has zip up curtains so better specced that the Taiga and £250 cheaper. I originally planned to buy and Airbeam tent but realised the very slight convenience was not worth the extra money and extra packed size of tent. Note the Taiga still also has one pole in porched area to so doesn't have the full benefit of being an air tent all round.
