2nd review now it stood up to some storm winds before ok which came after we had the thing up. But I have been a victim of argos: while putting the thing up last week in windy conditions 4 of us doing it the steel poles gave in at the mid section joins. After scouring the internet and calling argos we are left up the creek so to speak. My mate who is a welder says he can fix them putting sleeves on the out side of the pole at the join. Other than the lack of spares ie none, it has been a good tent and if the poles repair it will be used again as I like the design

We have used this tent twice now, both times for a week of quite differing weather, hot and sunny cold and wet, windy, raining and windy. We love the shape and the size, only 3 of us in it, I feel that all tent companies overestimate the actual sleeping capability as 8 people would have to be very friendly and small to share this tent. We use the big bedroom and one of the smaller ones for our son. This leaves tons of space, that said we also put a gazebo up and use it as a kitchen area. This year we suffered terrible weather and except for a couple of seam joins (duct tape, gotta love it) we had no real leaks, I am gonna waterproof it in the spring and keep on using it till we finally kill it, it would benefit from a sewn in groundsheet, but hey it cost us about Ł100.00 in the sale! so I aint complaining! Would recommend it to anyone.

I used this tent for the first time last weekend. It is easy to put up but you need a helping hand purely due to its size.

The size is great and being able to stand fully in any part of the tent is great. The room sizes are very good and the living area can fit plenty of people in on those wet and windy days.

Due to the size of it it does take a bit of a battering in strong winds so we had to re-tighten the lines regularly.

Overall a good sized tent at great value for money

For those of you who love the Pro Action Nevada but regret the lack of groundsheet (as I did), check out the KAMPA PENDINE 8. It's very similar - steel/fibre glass combi poles, bedroom configuration etc, but it has the sewn in groundsheet. It also has a higher HH rating.

I have now moved on to a sewn-in groundsheet, but I went to a Gelert Meridian. I actually prefer the totally fibreglass poles, but miss the two individual rooms at one end. Anyone got some old Nevada bedrooms? My ex inherited the Nevada!

Unfortunately on the first time we used one of these tents, which we had borrowed from our neighbour, one of the steel poles snapped. I noticed that one of the posts mentioned that they have some spare parts, does anyone have a spare steel pole that they could sell me? Spare parts are not easy to come by for this tent.

We used this tent for about 7 camping holidays and it never leaked but the living area was always a bit too small and the wind did use to get in because it wasn't sewn in and it didn't have any flaps.

On our 7th camping holiday we were on a quite windy campsite as it was high up, we went to the beach that day as normal but when we got back the whole tent was on the floor in pieces, a lot of the poles were snapped so we thought we were going home, fortunately millets sold poles so we sort of got it back up again. The campsite was busy so there was a lot of tents around and out of the whole lot ours was the only one to completely fall down, a few others had injuries but nothing like ours. It wasn't like we had put it up rubbish either, it had extra guy ropes and storm pegs.

We have now done the job properly and got ourselves an outwell Montana 6 tent which we are yet to use but we now hope that we won't be the people on the campsite with a blown down tent.

I bought this tent a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately I was not happy with it at all.

First the good points;

This tent is very spacious, easy to erect and take down, good spacious bedrooms, quite waterproof. Good price.

Bad points;

Poorly manufactured ie. Pin holes in the material, door flap was sewn into the seem and it was very difficult to get back in the bag.

I think that I was just unfortunate to have a faulty tent, and if it was made better it would have been a great family tent. But I was put off by this and Argos were very good about it and gave me a refund.
