Bought this tent in April this year, as had Coleman ten man tent that took us around an hour to put up!

This one takes around 20 mins to put up (put it up on my own last weekend in @ same time :-))). We are a family of 3, daughter only 5yrs old, so its perfect for us. We have bought the front extension and keep all cooking equipment in there.

Can't say enough how easy it is to put up and take down.

We bought this tent as an emergency as we lost our old tent to the wind. Our tent is blue and was the sample tent for this years green. The Iowa takes 20 min with 2 of you easily and pitches as one. The Iowa is classed as a 6 berth but is more comfortable for 4 people with plenty of room inside. It is light and airy with 2 doors, 2 large windows, cable ties, cable entry, lamp hooks, and plenty of pockets inside the bedrooms.

The only downside for me is as I am over 6ft I had problems getting out of the bedroom without falling over when my wife was asleep as the bedroom door slopes.

Overall a good tent which we have now bought the extension for.

Just sent mine back, great design and easy to pitch etc, though you can't get 3 sleeping mats in the bed pod but plenty big enough, nice and light but mine had a hole in the SIG big enough to see the grass through and also some poor finishing between the sig and tent which I think caused the leak that completely soaked the bedroom .3rd tent that has leaked from Outwell so not replacing.So make sure you check it carefully!

Easily sleep 6, with room in the middle for another 4 people if needed. Carpet really does add a nice touch & its so nice to walk about bare footed, just like home from home.

Erects easily with 2 people, even novices will find the colour coded poles very easy to use.

Got this for 2 Adults and 2 Dogs as our first tent and used it over Easter.

With only 5 colour coded poles the tent was very easy to pitch for 2 complete novices, although I agree I would call it a 4 man tent rather than 6. Loads of space inside with lovely large windows so even when it's raining you can snout at whats going on outside!

We did buy the footprint and carpet and found them both really good. The velcro straps were great for the guy ropes, and on taking it all down we even managed to get the tent back in its bag!

The only down side for me is that we did get condensation on the insides but I don't think much could be done about that as I did have the vents closed coz it was freezing!

Great tent and would thoroughly recommend it.

Having used an Outwell Hartford M for a number of years now we wanted a tent that was quicker and easier to pitch, especially in the rain. We also wanted larger and separate bedroom areas so this tent looked ideal. First time pitching took 15 mins, the second time even less. Just three main poles, colour co-ordinated with the sleeves, and two more poles to lift the bedroom height. Its an all-in-one pitch so the bedrooms are immediately ready. We also purchased the Canopy Extension and again, very easy to attach. The bedrooms are roomy, good for 6 man, even better for 4, plenty of space in the living area, doors and large windows to both sides. Great little details such as guy rope holders when packing, an oversized bag, because they never go back as small as they came out (although second time this one did!) and electric cord clips inside for the central light. The optional footprint was a must, wouldn't want to pack this tent away with a went and dirty groundsheet. The canopy gave a huge extra outdoor space. Cant wait to use it again. A final factor we looked at was tent size, we wanted a roomy tent but one that two people could easily pitch and (most importantly) one that fit on a standard size pitch. This one does all that, with the advantage that it will also fit either length or width ways on the pitch, so you can pick the perfect position for the view.

We recently got one of these due to our Gelert Quebec getting ripped to pieces in the wind down in Brean. This tent looks to be a grade above, it seems much better quality. The poles are all colour coordinated and the tent pitches all in one so it is a doddle to do with two people, it took us around 20 minutes first time and almost half that the second time we pitched it. We decided to get the made to measure footprint for under the tent and the fitted carpet for inside the living area, both of which I would recommend although the carpet does move around and crumple up quite easily. We also purchased the porch extension but have not yet used it so I cant comment on that.

The living area is very spacious and would fit a table and at least 4 camping chairs quite easily.

The bedrooms are rated at three man each but we use a double airbed and there would not be room for any more, I'm sure if just camping mats and sleeping bags were used you would fit three in each though.

Nice big windows in the living area gave loads of light inside the tent and little touches like velcro straps to keep the guy ropes tidy when not in use all add up to make this a 10 out of 10 tent for me.
