Purchased recently as an upgrade from our ' cheap see if we like camping halfords tent' have pitched the tent this weekend ready for a trip next & absolutely love it! Extremely roomy and a huge living space we have also got the L side extension which will only add to this tent, carpet gives it a very luxurious feel, took about 30 minutes to pitch on our first attempt so hopefully we will get quicker from now on. Would not hesitate in recommending this tent.

Our first tent and would not hesitate to recommend it at all. Put it up in the garden- took 40 minutes first time and getting quicker each time- down to just on 25 mins now- two adults with a toddler round our ankles! Had it up in pouring rain and no leaks at all- with the extension out front it was great to leave the big front door open and be able to walk in and out without wetting the carpet. Would highly recommend getting the footprint and carpet too. The foot print means that you can plan exactly to the cm where you are putting the tent and the floor of the tent stays cleaner and dryer- its much easier to dry the footprint than the entire tent if the ground is soggy. I loved the zip between the bedrooms as I could just slide my hand through from our 'bedroom' to the toddlers to retrieve lost blankets etc- and even pull him through to us early one morning so he went back to sleep- great idea Outwell! One slight issue we had was that the electric hook up was on the opposite side of the tent to where the little zip for it is and our extension was not long enough to go round. We just slipped in under the other door, but one on each side would be good. The extension made a big difference at night too as we could sit under it and still be outside, but the sides provided a great wind break so it was not so cold. So the front door- unlike the side doors- could be opened without dripping in onto the carpet. We want to buy two extra poles and guy ropes for holding the doors up but we had sort of expected that to be included (at this price). All in all though we loved staying in it and having the space to sit the whole family down at a table for breakfast inside in the pouring rain was fantastic!

Where to start! We bought this a week ago and test pitched at home, all ok. Took away to a very wet and rainy Devon. The tent leaked! The inner pole was dripping like mad as the seam through the middle was leaking (I have uploaded a video on this too). There were massive puddles in the tent (on the carpet). Very dangerous as we have EHU! It turned out one half of this seam had not been taped so water just came in through the seams. I will upload some pictures
The rain safe door holds water and you end up with a massive puddle of water sitting on it. The pole for it was about 20cm too long and we had to cut it down (Outwell know about this).
Other than this it was a nice tent, it was large and bright and airy. Lots of windows and some nice touches but we got a refund as it was just no good for us with the leaking
All in all a nice tent but awful quality

Just used our new Outwell Nevada XL 2011 for the first time this weekend (July 2011).Easy to pitch - took about 1hour to pitch (only because we hadnt done it before). Withstood wind and rain this weekend-lots! No leaks. Bedroom area's had plenty of room.Fitted a queen size, double lair airbed in one of them with ease.Used the other for a changing room and toilet area. Lovely having two side doors and a very large one at the front as one of the days it would have been like a sauna if it didnt have these.
One problem with the side entrance rain door porch. The poles did not fit - were way too large. This has been noted in other reviews so should have been sorted by now but apparently, according to Yeomans where we got ours from it hasnt. They said they would send another pole that did fit but it would come direct from the manufacturers in Denmark so would take two weeks. My husband ended up taking his little hacksaw and sitting out in the sun making it fit for our trip until the proper one came. Not really good enough as its not exactly a bottom price range tent. On another note: the Outwell windbreaker broke as soon as it was pitched - the spokes at the top of each pole disappeared into the pole so the fabric had nothing to attach to. Will swap it for another as I want it to match the tent but will take it back if it happens again

This is a great family Tent, with plenty of room in the living area - great if it is raining.
We used to own a Wynnester Pheonix tent which had a similar living area and until this tent we could find nothing to replace it for space. It even works out lighter than the our previous tent so great.
Outwell, if you are reading these please take note: it would be better if the windows opened in some way as the only way to ventilate the tent is to open the doors or the vents around the side, which in hot weather are not enough.
The door - like all Outwells is a fag to use being in 2 sections that means 2 zips to undo to get in , 3 if you want to completely open the door, if you have the inside meash net rolled up then the tent door is not sealed along the bottom other than with 3 pieces of velcro. Outwell should copy the Wynnester door idea which is much more practical.
Otherwise a great tent, we have managed to pitch the Outwell nevada tent and have all our kit into it and laid out in about a hour, much faster than the dome design of the Wynnester.
The extension makes great sense, for only an extra £100, but we have yet to get one, it makes sense as it then protects the door way from any rain, it having a sloping front. But don;t forget this adds many Kgs and packing space to the tent.
If you are umming and arhing between a Nevada M and an XL, go for the XL There is very little extra weight - 1 pole and one panel which all packs up in about the same volume as the M, so for 1.2 metres more living space go for the XL !
We managed to get a bargain by buying the tent, footprint and carpet all together and so got the tent for £320, so hunt around for deals on the internet and take them along to the shop you want to buy from, you never know.

I have owned several tents, and the Outwell Nevada XL outshines them all, super size, totally waterproof, windproof, spares available readily, separate bedrooms, carpets as extras made to measure, doors in abundance. Privacy guaranteed when needed with the separate rooms at each end of the tent, which can be removed if extra living space is needed. I would not hesitate to buy another if this one failed.
Despite its size of around 27ft, it only took myself and one teenager around half an hour to erect. It took longer to get the sleeping bags and equipment into the tent than it did to erect it.
Highly recommended - you won't go wrong with this tent, if you get chance and this is the right size - go for it, you won't be disappointed.

We absolutely love this tent. There is loads of room in the living area with lovely floor to ceiling windows which give lots of light. The main sleeping quarter is on one side of the living area and the other, with a divider in it that can be taken up, is at the other side. We easily fit our large queen size Coleman bed in the main sleeping quarter with plenty of room to spare. There are lots of pockets in the sleeping area and the living area for storage.
We have the extension which provides plenty of space for our camp kitchen and somewhere to leave shoes etc. We also have the carpet which I wouldn't be without and the footprint.
We have camped three times in this now. It has withstood being blown across a campsite (Don't ask!) and one of the worst storms I've ever experienced in France.
The only negative thing I can say is that it's a shame the extension doesn't have a zip down front to protect what's under it from the elements.
We have two children and it has been plenty big enough for us all plus their friends who always seem to end up sleeping in it too. If you can find one grab it!

Loved this tent from the minute I bought it. Was really easy to put up just two adults with 2 kids running riot.
The fact that the bedroom were already fitted helped a lot as no sooner than we had put it up the heavens opened. So we bundled the kids and an airbed and some games in one room filled the other with stuff and the last room our friends used to put thier stuff while they put their own tent up. Is great for big trips we went with 2 adults and two kids first time and used the spare room for the loo and storage. Second time we went had 4 adults and 3 kids a camp kitchen, loo, wardrobe etc and still room to sit round at night. Withstood some pretty gusty winds in Morecambe and the rain too. We added a vango sun canopy to gain an eating area in the windy raining times this went really well with the tent. Found the same problem as another user with zipping it up at night due to the brow pole pulling the zips tight but found it only a very minor problem. Love the carpet very warm. Also highly recommend the footprint no more folding up mucky tents to go home. Definitely recommend this tent for families if you can get hold of one.

We bought this tent 2 months ago from Winfields, and used it last week for the second time. Really easy to put up, and there's loads of space inside.It came with the free carpet which gives a cosy feel when inside. The weather was very rainy, but the tent did not let us down at all. Cant wait to go camping again!

We received our Nevada XL last week and decided to try it out this weekend.
We camped in Buxton and it POURED the whole day on Saturday. Sad to say, but the tent leaked - from the roof where the lamp hangs in the main area; from one of the corners of one of the side doors; and from the outter tent's corner attachment points (stress points). When we were packing up and I have removed the airbeds, there was a puddle of water under one inner tent, and the other inner had a dampened rug which I put in there (we only used the other bedroom, where the puddle was).
Another problem - the zips of the door (where the fibre glass pole of the 'hood' is attached) were difficult to close, due to the stress caused by the too-long poles provided for the hood, bowing the zips. If we ever decided to keep this tent, we would have had to saw off probably an inch each end of the pole.
Another thing wrong with the tent - there was only three pegging points (ie, one in the middle) at the end of the tent where there's no door (at the end where there's a door, there were two in the middle). The wind blew rain under the flysheet and this probably added water into the puddle underneath the inner tent.
We have returned the tent and have asked for a refund. Sadly, they said they would have to check it out first before giving us our money back. But how are they going to prove us wrong, unless they try the tent out in the rain?
One thing I really liked, though, about this tent was the pitch-as-one system, even though it still took us about 40 mins to put up - for the first time.
Would I buy another Nevada XL? Maybe, but considering it might leak again, not for £214.95, even if the carpet's free.

Manufacturer's Description
The manufacturer has advised that this model has been discontinued.
The good looking panorama front, with its huge windows backed by toggle-up curtains, adds even more space, light and great views. The looks are further lifted by the use of the new Treetop Green colourway of our own Outtex 4000® tent fabric. The tent features an invaluable fully-enclosed Rain-safe side door, which allows entry into the tent without letting in water. The Nevada can be pitched either outer tent first or all in one. This is further simplified by the addition of the Outwell Easy Pegging System. The unique Outwell Wind Stabilizer System provides enhanced stability in up to Force 9 gales. The tent is packed with Outwell DNA features like pre-attached luminous guylines. The inners have the new chic logo-embossed fronts and Night Sky Ceiling that aids sleep by darkening the bedroom.
