![]() I love the mesh inner and zipped access from both sides of the tent. NB I’m 5’11” and room inside is easily generous enough. The tent is extremely well made, waterproof, and literally take seconds to erect or easily pack away! The inside black is stupidly black, so its likely you’ll lay in during early summer sunrises! I camp solo with a double VANGO inflatable mattress, which fits perfectly inside but if 2 are camping, they’ll be no extra room to store backpacks, food coolers etc other than at your feet or in the outer vestibules (a car or another tent). Next time it comes on special, I’m going to have to buy another one for myself as my mum now refuses to part with it.įor single campers, this really is the PERFECT tent! It’s also ideal for 2 campers, but you might struggle with room for backpacks etc. We were completely exposed on a field with nothing to shelter us from the strong wind and rain coming off the lake, not even our car which was parked off to the side. The tent did not budge one bit, looking at it you would not have realised there was any wind at all, meanwhile other tents have collapsed or flying 10 metres in the air into the next paddock. However in spite of that, it was one of only two tents in the whole camp site left standing and completely unscathed from the 77km/h winds we experienced on Lake Colac over the weekend. Unfortunately she tied the guy lines incorrectly, attaching it to the red pull cord instead of the guy lines tabs. She is a complete camping newbie, so it was very easy for her to set up on her own. I bought this tent for my elderly mother to use on a recent camp trip. I’m so impressed with this little tent that I had to write a review where I’m normally too lazy to. But at the end of the day it's only ever going to live in the boot of a car, so if it takes up a few CM extra room than it could do, who cares. I'm sure I'll find a way, but the first few times I found myself worrying that maybe it's bigger because I haven't done it properly and that may lead to damaging the internal poles or something. as I cant quite seem to work out how to pack it up just as compact as it was when I first received it. The bag it comes in is perfectly sized, but I've found myself at the limit of that size. The only very very minor gripe (if I can possibly find one), is packing this thing up aint as easy as erecting it. Pretty much blew me away how quick and easy this is to put up, but more importantly, just how good the quality of materials and construction are too.Īll I wanted was a good value car camping tent, for hassle free basic camping, and this really delivers on all fronts. I'd read lots of reviews about this before purchasing, so was keen to see if it lived up to the hype. ![]() ![]() Having spent many years working in the outdoor industry in AU and NZ, I've owned and tested a lot of tents, camping hammocks, bivvys, swags etc etc.
