'ITS A BIG, BIG TENT!'
Strengths:
Er...big! Its also very roomy and well designed. There are three sleeping compartments, a large living area and a front porch/wet room. Very stable and since most of the interior is double skinned it is warmer than most. Clever door and window arrangements to maximise light and airflow. All doors have full insect netting
Weaknesses:
It is an overthrow construction and does need two people to pitch it. Some of the tying/attaching of the fly sheet to the poles can be fiddly
Overall:
A well thought out family tent with very good living space and three side by side bedrooms. We use it all teh time for our family camping and we love it. The slight niggles (which all tents have) are massively outweighed by the positives. During the storms of May, this tent rode them out easily, didnt leak and hardly moved in the night when other tents and awnings succumbed. We love it. If you look around you can get the 2007 model for £400-450 or the 2006 model for £350-400. Not much difference between the two versions apart from teh porch design and the hydrostaic head on teh 2007 being 5000mm to the 2006 model being 3000mm. Both of these ratings are good enough for family campsites in 3 seasons
