12 Reviews of the Tenby 10 Showing 11 to 12 Page: 1 2

By: Gunnar Reason: I've used one Made in: 2010 Rating: 9 from 10

Well we're back from our inaugural camping trip with the Tenby 10, and I have to say we were impressed.

We had some light steady rain whilst putting the tent up but had no leakages. A tip for those erecting a Tenby 10 - after erecting the main poles (excluding porch) make sure you push the bottoms (ring and pin) ends in for the centre section and secure with pegs with the groundsheet square and flat to the ground. I had the missus inside the tent to check the groundsheet whilst doing this. This prevents unnecessary tension on those corners and across the main groundsheet.

Plenty of room for us and the 3 kids, although I had to stretch on my tiptoes to put up the light - yes it's that tall in the centre of the tent and I'm 5ft 10' with long arms !

The sleeptite actually works, keeps the bright light out but unfortunately not the heat !

Found the windows, 2 at either end, very versatile - zips in the right places (you'd have to see one to understand !).

The Frinton 4 canopy worked a treat on the front door, creates an enclosed shelter over the main door which would be and was a boon when the rain arrives. You just need to ensure you get a good fit and push the elasticated section of material up the tent (see latest piccies).

Finally, I'd just like to say a big thankyou to David at Camperite for pointing us in the direction of this tent and all his help and guidance along the way.

I'm going to increase my score to 9/10 (In my world nothing ever gets a 10/10 !)

Well we have finally got our Tenby 10, and have done a trial pitching in a friends large garden - yes it's that big !

The tent comes in 2 bags – The first bag contains the tent, inners, pegs and of course the instructions. The 2nd contains the poles. This is a BIG tent so the bags and therefore weight are equally so.

The Poles were simple to assemble, and consist of crossover poles and legs. The legs have had some bracing welded on to the corners to prevent stress buckling. Warning - Be careful with the crossovers they are LONG !

Roll the tent out , peg the 4 corners with a little slack and start with raising the centre section. This is probably worst bit but once up the remaining poles are a doddle. The remaining poles in the bag are for the canopy doors which come in small sections and clip into each other, so you can make them shorter if you so wish.

There are plenty of pegging points. I would recommend that you ensure the main centre section poles are aligned and correct before pegging the remainder of the tent. We didn't and found the groundsheet at the front corners a little raised - corrected by re-positioning the offending poles !

The Inners are separate but only took 10 mins to attach to the inside - first tent we've had where these are separate and this was not a big deal.

The sleeping compartments have indeed been lined (as per Kampas literature), which make them darker - even yesterday in the blazing sunshine - the wife will never rouse me now !

Even with the inners attached the inside was spacious and a very good size should the weather be poor. The carpet is a nice rectangle, which is soft to the touch and fits the centre section of the main tent.

The porch is a nice size, it has a sloping front door so without a canopy this will have the usual wet weather issues. We tried a friends Large Vango canopy but the roof line was too narrow. So we are planning to modify a Frinton 4 canopy for the front of ours. The porch groundsheet is simple to fit and was perfect.

Taking down the tent was just as easy as raising and we opted to take the inners out, not sure if you’d get away with leaving them in. We managed to fold the tent and roll it, fitting it back in the bag first time ! Amazed !

I have rated the tent as 8 out 10 because we are yet to use the tent in anger, this will be at the end of May - Can't wait !

I have also posted some pictures up.

Hope this is useful.

Manufacturer's Description

Our largest tent yet. Its exterior dimensions are utilised to maximum advantage to give a massive interior space without wasted space. For a tent of its size, the Tenby 10 is relatively easy to set up with clearly colour coded parts. Once erected, the structure is very stable with plenty of supporting poles and pegging points. A large front canopy protects the entrance to the tent - an ideal place to kick off your shoes - and this leads directly into the cathedral like living area! This space can also be accessed through the rear door and on hot days both doors can be opened to provide a draught through the tent. The bedrooms are either side of the living area and in contrast to the brightly lit living area, the SleepTite System keeps their interiors nicely subdued – ideal for an afternoon nap. Up to ten people can sleep comfortably or it is possible to either leave out individual inner tents or set down and stow others depending upon your needs. There is also an area set aside for storage (it has a wardrobe bar for hanging clothes) or perhaps as a toilet area. Of course, the Tenby comes with a Sealed Groundsheet System to make sure that the weather and creepy crawlies stay outside.
