Yes and good value, I think it will be a tight for me to share with my son 11 going on 16.



My 35 year old son has joined me on a few camps using this tent and plenty room for two in sleeping pod and living area. It was marketed as a tent for two.




TBH I was thinking more on the lines that he would be a bit matcho over the idea of sleeping next to hs Dad but he is quite happy about. In fact he said "don't be so silly" ha ha.

What size carpet did you get for the living area and bedroom?

No problems thanks...still cheaper than anywhere else. I had seen that same carpet advertised at around £22 plus a postage charge so I don't mind collecting it from Millets for £18.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and advice

Now...any ideas on how to hang a flyscreen or netting over the door without damaging the tent

Fly screen - As the tent is flat fronted maybe something like one of these?

I think it attaches with velcro so may well work?

Fly Screen


or maybe use clingons on the door opening with mesh.

My son used to come along with me from about the age of 7yrs when I was seriously into backpacking and wild camping and also car camping as a family, so he is used to the two of us sleeping in a small backpacking tent.
So the Aura has more room, we just use sims.

The living area carpet is 230x 210cms and the bedroom carpet is 200x140cms. Both are slightly smaller than both areas but negligible.
They are getting delivered Thurs or Fri...

In my previous post I notice I quoted the actual living and bedroom sizes rather than the actual carpet sizes I got.
