i have one a freedom trail grand canyon.

only used it once the worst tent ever to put up have to pull it out lke a concertina and if u got less than 3-4 people its a nightmare.  the frame poles are on the outside and as you pull it out u need someone going around the edge pegging other wise you do seem to get gaps.  i found it very drafty.  we bought ours from littlewoods catalogue last year and im still paying for it.  ill never use it again it was too much hassle for us as i cant help OH put it up so he lost his temper putting it up on his own.  i to admit it was very spacious inside and kept us dry.  i couldnt find anything on it either i searched the net last year but it is something to do with the company slumberlux. 

No it hasn't.

I used to be a Scout leader so I am used to getting everything inside a tent when you KNOW that a storm is coming etc.  The kids where a little less expereinced and got dreanched a few times.  We will be back theis season!!

I have just bought a Freedom Trail Vancouver 10 berth, put it up as soon as i got home in about 35 mins.  Fantastic tent for £99 and masses of space for us, we are taking it camping in the h/t school holidays in october. It was quite breezy when i put it together and it is absolutely huge...over 7ft tall so plenty of headroom and a bdroom that will easily sleep 8...10 maybe a squeeze.

Once it is up it feels solid, upto now i would recommend one no problem, will update the review after our trip....value for money...most definately

Well just a quick update.....following on from Dazza1971 (thats my old name) we didnt make the holiday last year due to heavy rain and the campsite being flooded on arrival.  Just got back form Anglesey this week and have to say what a fabulous tent...it was really windy and Myself, the good lady and our eldest had it up inside of 40 mins...once up it was watertight (yes it rained...boy did it rain) it withstood some of the strongest winds i have encountered at this time of year whilst others (namely Vangos) were losing there outers and was draughtproof throughout.

This is the second tent we have had and i have to say the best to date to say it cost less than a hundred pound, roomy, spacious and very sturdy...would recommend one any time.  Marks out of 10 a definate 9.5 on this occasion.
