2 Reviews of the Carrera 800

Used for 3 x separate weeks
First week in the Lake District - Low Wray - No Rain! - perfect
Second Week at Robin Hoods Bay - Major storms - was the only tent left standing due to the metal poles and only minor leaks
Third week at Hinderwell - Constant mizzly rain and heavy rain for 3 days - never let up - major leaks in the tent - had to abandon it for last night and go back and strike camp in pouring rain.
Majorly disappointed that after receiving a good weathering on the second week at RHB there were major leaks on the third week. It wasn't condensation either. Also the Vango extension leaked as well. The layout and design of the tent are great but these are no good if the tent will not stay dry. Now wondering if poly cotton is all its cracked up to be

Purchased this for Summer 2010 for family of adults and 5 kids.
Used on 2 trips. One full week and a separate weekend.
In summary, I am very pleased. 4 separate rooms which each hold full size air beds. Lovely central area with plenty of standing height.
Polycotton was great. No condensation.
Tent is heavy and bag is big. Much of weight is due to the heavy duty poles and the flysheet. Erection time is about 1.5 hours (includes putting in the inner rooms). Pins are poor and bend easily.
Lots of people admired the tent, its size and poles drawing the initial intention.
I purchased it from Highbridge Caravans who were first class. Tent was delivered to Ireland and wheel on the wheelie bag broke in transit. HC arranged for a replacement to be sent out immediately. Really good service.
