About 8 years ago I bought an Easycamp Salerno 400 for less than £50 and it became a much loved and well used tent. Anyway, it finally died a few weeks ago after many years of faithful service, never leaking even in really high winds and rain (despite only having 1500 HH!) until this summer.

I basically wanted an exact replacement for that tent, and picked up an Easycamp Eclipse 500 which seemed to be similar, just a little bit bigger and the addition of windows in the porch. Got it for £80 so quite cheap.

Used it this weekend and unfortunately the inner sleeping area door doesn't have a mesh door! I thought ALL tents had a bug screen on the inner sleeping pods. I really like to be able to open up the tent for max ventilation in the morning, but have a mesh bug screen protecting the sleeping pod. And so you can see and talk to someone in the sleeping pod easily.

Am thinking of selling the Easycamp Eclipse 500 and trying a Kampa Caister 5... however I can't see any photos that show a mesh inner or not. Which makes me think that doesn't have one either.

So, does anyone know if the Kampa Caister 5 as a secondary mesh door on the inner sleeping pod?

Thanks :-)

I've only used mine for two nights on Cub camps I was leading on so I was only in it for about 6 hours per night! I'm fairly sure it doesn't have a mesh door on the pod - couldn't swear to it, but I think I'd have noticed it even in the short use I've had from it.
