Had it 3 years, used 3 times all in disgusting weather.1. Left it for a week at Tan Hill Inn as the weather too vile to take it down, along with my caravan and awning. Returning a week later after ferocious gales for a week,at Britains highest Inn, caravan awning shredded, Kalahari totally unharmed. 2. Horton in Ribblesdale, pouring rain and floods. Great. 3. Great Langdale, after deluge for a week, massive downpours. Cosy as you would want. A great tent, easy to put up and down, would take it to the Antarctic, MASSIVE inside for just the two of us, great for Glamping which I intend to do in France in a couple of weeks. Fellow campers will a) take the p. In serious mountain sites or b) be jealous of the luxury. I have the awning, carpets et al. Marvelous. Great touches like storage pockets on the bedroom walls in and out, loops for hanging, good window designs etc. Just bulky if you don't have a big estate car.

Hi,bought this tent last year. Camped weekend gone for the second time.

Great size and easily erected, only fault is it is so draughty, didnt notice this 1st time. There are vents all along each side and at the ends. Closed the side vents at night but still a draught from the end vents. Bought the carpet this time which is a good addition but expensive for what it is. Picnic blankets would do the job and be a lot cheaper. Will be buying some for under the bedroom areas.

don't have the footprint so will be looking into getting some tarpaulin as a groundsheet maybe cause I think Hi Gear is expensive. The bed clothes got very damp and cold, probably cause I had no ground sheet and the wet weather lately has made the ground damp.

Got the Zenobi porch this time and its fits perfectly, can expect a gap on the floor and a little at the sides as in previous reviews so save yourself a few quid and get the zenobi porch, the specs are the same. Ideal for cooking with door open. So will be buying another for the other side, will have a kitchen area, dining area and living area. Overall, well pleased with the tent and its accessories. Just need to add some heaters.

Having only erected this once it is easy to put up. I find that the footprint really helps as a guide for pitch location. This tent can be used all year round as its a sealed unit. Lots of space, lots of headroom. Great price for a great tent. We also have the porch attachment which adds space but would be better if it could be pegged more or even come with a sown in ground sheet.

Fantastic tent! Lovely and big providing enough space for all. I have just used the tent with the footprint, porch and carpet which make it even better!

Even with the addition of the porch, it still only took 35 minutes to erect the whole tent and is very easy to do. I would recommend this tent to anyone looking for a large, sturdy tent for anything from weekend trips to proper holidays.

Just used our tent for our first camping trip this weekend. Huge and easy to erect. We used one area for sleeping, and the other end for chemical toilet and storage and plenty of room in middle area. We bought the carpet which made a difference, and are looking to buy the porch next. Put up quickly and it survived a blustery evening. It was easy to dismantle in windy weather as long as some pegs left in! Overall, really good tent!
