1 Reviews of the Greycliff 7SATC
By: JustinParker Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2017 Rating:
In 2007 we bought an Outwell Wolf Lake 7 and have happily used that tent for multiple trips per year with no issues and have found the tunnel style perfect size and layout for our family of 5. As the tent came up to 10 years old and Air Beam tents are now the go to design we had started to think maybe it was time for a change even though the Wolf Lake has lots more life in it.
Must haves on our list were:
Polycotton - This was non negotiable as it really is noticeably quieter and more pleasant
Size - At least as big as the Wolf Lake 7 .
Airbeam inflatable tent
We had looked at Kampa Studland and Vango Illusion TC tents but neither grabbed our attention and made us want to change and both had issues that we felt would be an unecessary compromise.
The Greycliff however, as soon as we saw it at the NEC camping show both my wife and I knew it was the perfect replacement for the WL7.
First the bad points. Its big and heavy. Seriously don't underestimate how big and heavy this tent is. We leave the front awning attached so this increases the weight but it does all roll up and fit back in the main tent bag. We use the additional awning bag for fitted groundsheets and awning carpets. The combined pack size is probably at least 50% bigger than the WL7 combined pack size. I used to be able to move WL7 bags around fairly easily on my own. With the Greycliff I can just about carry it short distances but it is well over 65kg in weight just in the main bag and big and awkward.
The other issue is that there is no covered doorway in which to enter should it be raining. So you will get rain inside the tent due to the sloped doorway design if its raining heavily.
At the time of writing the footprint groundsheet that we purchased with the tent isn't really a footprint groundsheet just a large rectangle that is approximately the same size as the tent (but not same shape) this is an issue that I'm sure Outwell will remedy at some point.
Only one small light fixing point in the front awning? Need to find some solution for lighting in the front awning as you do need to faff around zipping in groundsheets at front of awning to the front door if you've had the front door fully open during nice weather. Also you have to peg and unpeg a couple of points on the front door each morning and night if you want the front door to hang nicely or if it was windy, this is a slight inconvenience.
Bedrooms are new longer design and although the tent is 20cm narrower than WL7 the longer Royal Bedrooms mean bedrooms feel more spacious.
Only the side doors can be opened to mesh rather than both window and doors in the WL7.
The Good. So far my family are delighted with the design of the Greycliff. We now have two lounge areas or one combined large area that can be used should the weather be bad and our large picnic table fits easily in the front awning. The bedroom pods have handy electrical inlet slips so extensions can be run from EHU unit into bedroom areas easier than before. Lights and electrics can be run from either side of the main lounge area unlike the older WL7 we had.
I'm 6ft 7in tall and have no issue walking throughout all parts of the tent without having to worry about head height.
Inflation and deflation is certainly a massive bonus over the old WL7 poled tent. Setup takes no more than 30 minutes to pull up and have tent fully inflated and pegged. We use a Bravo BP12 pump and also I cannot recommend this highly enough as a wonderful partner to the Greycliff. Our friends were impressed to see the tent unpegged, deflated and bagged in about 15 minutes this morning.
We love the modern Grey Colour although the guy ropes have already started to fade to brown in a coupe of days of sunshine.
Is it worth the price? I think this will depend on your outlook on camping. If you like luxury camping and having a very large comfortable space to relax in the Greycliff certainly helps deliver this.
