Hi

If you are refering to the Outwell Colorado 8 its supposed to be a very good tent.

Although I don't own one and therefore can't comment from personal experience.

 I have had this tent for 2 summers now. There is the OH, 2 kids and myself. Brilliant tent for family holidays for a week or two. There are 4 big bedrooms and a large living space in the middle. I am 6 foot and it is lovely that I can stand up in all areas. A week of crouching down would not be to pleasant.

It now takes us 15 mins to put up and another 15 mins to peg down. Easy for 2 people to assemble.

Also, at Beacon Hill Touring Park this year had a great storm, we stayed dry and the tent stayed up easily.

Down side - I paid £278.00 for mine and you can now buy it for £199.00!!!!!!!!

Go and buy it.

watching my brother with his too, gale force winds the tent simply pulls up like a consatina (hope thats spelt right) style effect meaning you dont have flysheets flapping everywhere...

A very belated thank you to helios for that info. We bought one from www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk back in sept '05, and have just got round to using it for a very wet and windy week in Norfolk. All the superlatives written about the tent are true. We found it easy to put up, with very spacious and flexible living areas, and very well made. The only downside I can think of is the pitch size needed (10 metres long, incl. space for end guylines). I understand Outwell have stopped making it for some reason - I think it is a classic design. Next buy will be the side canopy...
