| Coleman | Matrix X6 | We have just used this product for the first time and it was brilliant. The size is just right for a family of five, like ours, and we had no problem putting it up or taking it down. As we only go camping once or twice a year and didn`t want to spend a fortune on a tent we would rate this very highly in value for money. | | Happy Camper | 16/06/2009 14:45:21 |

| Gelert | , Cadiz 7 Tent | The dome design makes this tent really easy to pitch for its size (even for a small woman and her 9 year old daughter!). It is also very stable and waterproof (hydrostatic head is 3000mm and this was tested to the limit during a torrential storm in the South of France last summer).
The internal layout is incredibly flexible - there is a big main inner tent (bedroom 1) with an attached groundsheet covering the rest of the tent. This main bedroom can be subdivided to create two separate bedrooms. There is a separate inner tent that can be attached at the opposite end. Without this there is acres of living space: even with both inner tents there is ample storage space for a familty.
One thing to note - it says this tent sleeps 7. It will sleep 2 adults and 3 children very comfortably but dont expect it to accommodate any more in any comfort! | | Amazon Reviewer | 01/01/2009 01:01:01 |

| VANGO | Venom 300 Sleeping Bag | Took mine out for a cold night in a bothy - must have been about the freezing point in the room I was sleeping in and found myself down to the bare essentials as it was so cosy. PArticularly like the space in it - my previous one was a wee bit tight for my girth and also the draw cord to keep the heat in at the shoulders as well as the one for the hood. | | WillieGo | 11/12/2008 09:45:00 |

| Pro Action | 4 Person 2 Room Tent | This is a really really good tent. We first bought it for all of us, however, for four people it can get cramped if you are going away for quite a while. Really easy to put up, easy to pack away, well made. We have used this tent several times a year for the last four years. we reproofed it last year, and so far it has help up against thunderstorms, gale force winds, pounding rain and Scottish midgies. It is now too small for all of us so my three children sleep in it instead. Well recommended, we now call it our old faithful! | | Susan | 16/08/2008 12:32:59 |

| Pro Action | Nevada 8 Person 3 Room Tent | We bought this tent last year and it is a fabalous tent - good value for money.It has stayed up in high wind and rain and even a lightning storm. Even when you need a jumper when it does get nippy in the night - you dont in the bedrooms!!
Great space i like it when you can stand up in all areas.
Put a gazebo outside the doors (rolled up or canopy like) gets it a bit more cosy
All round good camping!!!! | | N Weaver | 13/10/2006 18:32:59 |

| Pro Action | Nevada 8 Person 3 Room Tent | We`ve just come back from a weekend away and used this tent for the first time. Pitching was easy and straightforward despite the wind.This is a large tent with lots of room, ideal for a family. The tent survived a night of rain and remained dry with no leaks. The fact that it has four doors means that the tent does not get hot and unbearable which is great if some relief from the sun is required. Our tent had all guy ropes pre-attached.I don`t know if this is standard but it does save an awful lot of time. There are two ground sheets supplied, one for the main living area and a smaller one should you decide not to use some of the bedrooms. Our family are not hardened campers so the tent will only get used for a maximum of two nights at a time but for the price we paid we are more than happy. | | Mrs Fuller. | 08/08/2006 21:02:05 |

| COLEMAN | Bispace 500 Tent | Still using my Bi space 500 after 8 years and don`t want to change it until something better comes on the market that is quicker to erect, easy to erect, has the sleeping room and living space. Only thing i would say is that it would be for 4 adults and not 5 but thats my opinion. Packs back up easy into its bag and light to carry. Chuffa Askew | | chuffa askew | 18/06/2009 09:03:00 |

| Lichfield | Arapaho 4 Tent | Live in Central Scotland and over past few years have used this tent on both East and West coast, and in this area in all sorts of weather and it has been first class. Just returned from 3 nights in Oxfordshire which was mainly sunny, but had very heavy rain one night, and as usual the tent performed very well. Not a drop of rain in the inside and everyone very comfortable. Would certainly recommend this tent for anyone and the 2 + 2 bedrooms with middle living/storage area is perfect. | | Big | 18/06/2009 09:01:42 |

| COLEMAN | WeatherMaster Plus Tent | I bought this tent off Ebay a couple of months ago and have used it twice including 2 weeks over easter. I have had lots of tents over the years but this is by far the best I have had. Easter was a good test with lots of sunshine, rain and wind and it took everything in its stride. The tent was easy to put up and felt absolutely solid. I love the all in groundsheet for keeping dirt and bugs out. The flyscreens do a great job and condensation was not a problem due to some of the best ventilation I have seen. The sun roof is a great idea too, just don`t forget to close it if it starts to rain. Even the pegs were great. This thing could probably withstand a hurricane. My only complaint is its a little heavy, but thats only because it is so well made. I should have bought one of these years ago. | | T. Jessop - Cornwall | 04/05/2009 14:46:10 |

| Thermos | 32 Litre Cool Box with 2 Free Ice Packs | This coolbox has withstood nearly 12 years of careful use, sturdy, good capacity and washes out well for those of us who use it for transporting foods and so on.

| Pro Action | Nevada 5 Person Frame Tent | I managed to get some spare poles for this tent from a camp site in Great Yarmouth called Scratby Hall.Anyone looking for repairs on the actual tent you should try your local camping/caravaning stores as they have companies on their computers who do repairs. I had to have zip replaced on mine & it cost me #30 for the repair. | | Dee | 03/03/2009 09:31:07 |

| Busybody | All-Weather | Hi! I rate this product above all similar devices for durability, function and reliability. I have already serviced mine once many years back. It saddens me now that the parts are no longer available. I have searched the net exustively but with no luck. I am told the manufacturer has discontinued the line. I am however, trying to to find custom outlets to see if I can regenerate my mother`s old one. Should I succeed, I will post any information here. CJB. | | Chrisbee | 27/01/2009 07:42:42 |

|
| Busybody | All-Weather | Like those in the previous reviews I have owned one of these lamps for years. I have nothing to beat its reliability. I was lucky enough to get spares before the producer discontinued. However, because of its outstanding performance and wide usefulness, I will be experimenting with other batteries, chargers and lamp modifications should there be no spares outlets- Watch this space. | | Chris bee | 19/01/2009 14:43:40 |

Easy instructions,very good in the hot weather because it keeps cool easily and in the cold it`s really cosy and warm. | | Tubsanna | 30/12/2008 10:57:39 |

| Campingaz | Camping Kitchen Gas Cooker Extra | FAB PRODUCT, WORKS WELL IN ALL THE TENTS WE HAVE USED OVER THE YEARS. PRICY YES BUT THE QUALITY IS IN THE PRODUCT. | | HAPPY_CAMPER | 11/12/2008 09:45:20 |

| Campingaz | Quickbed Single Airbed | As far as blow up beds go - I have to say this is the best one yet! I`m using it whilst I`m staying at a friend`s house for a few weeks. Keep in mind it`s best to have an electric pump to blow it up (in under 60 secs.) I`ve been sleeping on this for over a week - it hasn`t gone down - it is very tough. I bought this from Argos for only #15 - which I cannot argue with. It`s a tad longer than other inflatable beds, which is good, but it`s not as wide as your normal mattress so it does that takes a while to get used to. For the price, quality, and how comfortable this airbed is, I thoroughly recommend it! The double-lock valve is also good at ensuring air is kept in. Overall, it`s very comfortable, and probably the nearest thing to sleeping your own bed - unless that`s inflatable too! | | Hannah & Mark | 07/11/2008 14:26:01 |

| Pro Action | Nevada 5 Person Frame Tent | We purchased a nevada tent some time ago and had no problems at all, even with what the British weather can throw at it. but major disaster last weekend drunk, fell, put hand through window and fell through ripping beyond repair the main fly sheet. now I could go out and buy another frame tent but this model has been brill and would rather stick to what I know. so contacted argos and came to a dead end unless you want pegs and poles. does anyone have an old unit for sale all I want is the fly sheet but may consider the whole unit. or can any one help with the manufacturers name or number in china. argos are unwilling to disclose the suppliers contact details | | bwet1 | 16/08/2008 12:33:07 |

| Pro Action | Nevada 5 Person Frame Tent | I have now owned this tent for the last 4 years and bought it second hand from some fellow campers when we were admiring it and they were selling due to upgrading to a frame tent at the end of the season. I love this tent and it comfortably sleeps a family of four. We love this tent and enjoy some great camping trips in it. We have used it a good 4 times a year and I don`t know about anyone else but it always seems to rain when we camp but it has always kept us dry and on one occasion was one of the last tents standing when we had a storm and high winds at Wells next to the sea. Alas though I managed to snap one of my poles recently and not sure if replacements are still available?! Also the front zip bust but managed to mend as long as we keep it fastened which isn`t a problem as we always use one of the side doors. Maybe it`s time to retire the old girl! | | Our second home! | 16/08/2008 12:33:03 |

| COLEMAN | WeatherMaster Plus Tent | One of the best tents we have ever owned. We use it as a 2 person tent storing all our clothes in the other bedroom. We have an Outwell canopy that we use to give us a bit more shade. For total weather free camping it’s a must, with its integral ground sheet with the added benefit of the bedrooms with their own groundsheet, also with the steel poles on the outside of the tent. The only thing that gets wet when you erect it is you? | | DRP | 31/07/2008 08:09:10 |

| GELERT | Monsoon 4 | Excellent 4 berth tent. I had none stop virtually torrential rain on one wet weekend in Norfolk. Not one leak and the tent was very sturdy in strong winds. Only downside is that it could be a little more spacious in the living area but, when the weather is fine, both sides open up and are supported with poles which gives a much roomy feel to it. All in all a very good quality, durable tent. When I upgrade to another tent a `Gelert` model would be my choice again. | | Muddy Camper | 26/07/2008 09:31:15 |

| Royal | Garonne 6 Tent | The Royal Garonne tent is the first tent we purchased as a family. We were looking for a tent with optimal space, and we were definately NOT disappointed by this. We purchsed it at our local camping supplier and they were even able to DRIVE their LAND ROVER into it and still have plenty of space to walk around even with the bedrooms up! As our typical summer weather proved to be somewhat the norm, by that I mean rainy, the Royal Garonne tent proved excellent! It was able to withstand even torrential downpours and windy conditions and keep all the occupants nice and dry. It also proved very practical, with all the handy storage pouches and the amount of space available. Also, even with its size it took no longer than 35 minutes to assemble. I would personally recommend this tent anyone. | | Mr Berry | 18/07/2008 19:40:03 |

| COLEMAN | Viper Tent | I`ve owned one of these since they were the top of the Coleman range and cost over £100 but you can get them nowadays for a third of that. Excellent tents in that they`re the same weight and size (packed) as those that have no headroom but the viper has enough room to sit up in and a spacious porch area for your gear. Extremly waterproof. Quick and simple to put up. Very spacious sleeping area for a one man tent. Only one pole which is good. | | Anon | 30/05/2008 12:27:39 |

| COLEMAN | WeatherMaster Plus Tent | I love this tent. Its easy to put up and is very solid in all weather. It`s a little small to be a true 6 berth, more of a 4 berth. The quality of the materials and contruction are superb. I appreciate the built-in robust ground sheet with lip around the edge to keep the muck out. Each bedroom is large enough for a double airbed with a little space at one end for storage. The living compartment is a little cramped but can accommodate a picnic table and chairs. All in all, it`s a well made, well designed sturdy bit of kit which should provide years of trouble free use. | | Andy from Doncaster | 18/05/2008 16:37:00 |

| Aztec | Palacio 6 Tent | I am absolutely amazed by the two negative reviews. Sorry but the simple answer is it cannot have been pegged out properly. We have had an aztec palatio 6 for approx 4-5years and it could almost be an air raid shelter. If it is not pegged out securely it will flex in high wind. I understand the comment about becoming convex - I have seen it but I soon learnt it wasn`t taught enough or the guy ropes weren`t at the right angles. Try buying some `delta pegs` as extra protection. I used to be nervous about high winds before I got our palatio, but now I sleep soundly. Everyone always ends up in our tent, its like a marquee or should I say a tardis. If ever we see anyone else with one on the same camp site we always exchange that knowing `secure` look, and the comments are always positive. The slight extra effort in putting it up is worth it. You could live in it for two weeks - I have. We were caught last year in torrential persistent rain in Cornwall last year and no leaks or drips. Brilliant. | | Tracey Booth | 11/05/2008 08:05:08 |

| Aztec | Palacio 6 Tent | I have just taken the tent out of the bag to check it over ready for our camping trip next month. Still looks like new, no signs of wear or weathering. We bought it in 2004, and have used it many times since then, in all sorts of weather. Only problem I`ve had was once when I was putting it up in a gale and nearly went parachuting with the flysheet! It`s served the wife, kids and me very well for four years now and continues to do so. Best tent I`ve had. | | Pete | 09/04/2008 08:14:23 |

| Coleman | Columbia 10 Tent | I purchased this tent last year and absolutely love it. I wouldnt have anythign else. Lastyear it withstood a ferocious storm , the campsite flooded and we were given a caravan because the water was knee deep!! the coleman never leaked it all (I took it down before the water rose that high!!). As for the comments above, I have noticed a small sag in one of the bedrooms but nothign to be concerned about, My three children have a bedroom each and sleep near the doors so away from the sag! As for me I sleep in the middle living area and have never been cold or draughty!. i think this tent is cosy and warm and cant wait to use it again. I know the lack of instructions is a pain but you soon get the hang of it. I can now erect mine on my own ( a woman in her twenties!!!) in about 40 minutes and get it down in a hurry (stormlast year) in about 30 seconds!! | | wigan camper | 18/03/2008 09:09:09 |

| Pro Action | Nevada 5 Person Frame Tent | We are just going into our 4th or 5th season with this tent. I can highly recommend it and have done to friends who have since bought their own and are equally as happy with it. We are single parents families so easy erecting needs to be a big factor with a young child being your only helper. I have not used this tent in strong winds but have used it in heavy rain (in fact a whole weekend of it) it started to let the rain in on the Sunday afternoon, not bad going, it has since been re proofed and we are very much looking forward to getting in touch with nature in our home from home again in a few weeks. Would like to find out if you can get a canapy that attaches to the tent, which is how I came across this site. Happy camping | | Caroline P. | 12/03/2008 11:56:01 |

| Pro Action | Nevada 5 Person Frame Tent | We bought this tent last year - my granddaughter and I put it up in 40 minutes in the garden on a lovely Saturday morning and then slept out in it on the Saturday night. Next outing for it was a weekend in Bridlington - we arrived in the wind the rain and the dark, and it took 3 adults 1hour 20 minutes to get the tent set up and the car unpacked into it. It held up very well on a wet and windy October weekend. Glad I had not read any of the reviews before buying it or I might have missed out on a super tent. Make the most of it - we are looking forward to going to Scotland with it Spring Bank Holiday this year.. | | Kris-Jamie | 23/02/2008 09:50:25 |

| Coleman | Epsilon 3 Tent | I own this tent, having bought it shortly after it was available in the UK in January 2006. I have owned many tents over the years and still own several for different purposes. The Coleman Epsilon 3 is an ideal backpacking tent when you want a little extra room. It`s light enough and compact enough to fit in my 75ltr rucksack along with all my gear for a week long trek. It sleeps 2 in comfort (like Ozziebiker, I wouldn`t recommend it for 3 people) but for one person staying at one place and taking a few extra home comforts or for rainy UK festivals it`s excellent and extremely comfortable. It`s a flysheet first tent but the inner can stay attched and the two poles only go in one way so it`s dead simple to put up. Really quick; I can get the whole thing up and pegged out in a about 3 minutes flat. Ventilation is good, with air flowing over the inner via two vents at either end. There is a small porch and door at the tall end which is best used in wet weather but on finer days the whole of the long side of the tent upzips, giving great access and additional ventilation. It`s really tough with good secure pegging straps, the rain just runs off the fly and it`s pretty quick to dry off so I don`t find it too soggy in my pack if I break camp in the rain. Have used it for spring, summer and early autumn camping and have stayed dry and cozy every time One of the best tents I`ve ever used.

| Coleman | Michigan 9 Tent | This tent really is great. I was actually looking to buy the Vango Diablo 600, but when I visited Camperlands in Manchester, the Salesman told me that I could save some money and actually have `the same` tent, built with Coleman quality. He wasn`t wrong! I am made up with this tent amd my family have had many a happy holiday in it. | | Jimmy | 19/11/2007 13:37:17 |

| Pro Action | Nevada 5 Person Frame Tent | Got mine from Argos last year. It`s first trip out was a big test - appalling weather, but it stood up very well with no damage and no leakage other than a bit under one of the doors but given the weather that was understandable. So long as it is put up well, it should be able to withstand pretty high winds, as ours has done. Subsequently bought the bigger 8 berth one too for bigger party camps and that has proved excellent too. I did manage to snap a couple of poles whilst struggling to put the tent up on my own once and have yet to get replacements. Having a similar tent means we`ve been able to swap the poles around, but one day we will forget to do that and end up short on a campsite somewhere. Thanks for the tel no ... I will give that a try. Only criticism is that the divider in the inner tent could with a different design give more privacy, but its no different to other tents. Perhaps manufacturers will one day come up with a zip together design for inners. | | Liane | 13/09/2007 10:26:02 |

| Unbranded | Force Ten Vortex Tent | Force ten has outdone itself with the Vortex. A bombproof (a word used a lot around this tent)battle ready safehaven. There are a few good makes out there but the design and quality of this model is very impressive. There are some neat touches as well that all go into what will surely be an expedition favourite. A smidgen heavy for one person to carry but worth it when you put it up in bad weather. Well done....tea and medals all round Force ten... | | jockrebel | 13/09/2007 10:25:56 |

| Coleman | Michigan 9 Tent | We have had many great camps in this tent (and in all weathers) and would thoroughly recommend it. Although it says it sleeps 9, you would have to tidy away the living area each night if you also want to use it as a sleeping area. | | Anon | 04/09/2007 17:47:03 |

| Unbranded | Force Ten Vortex Tent | I have been delighted with my Force Ten Vortex. A fantastic heavy duty true two person tent, a little on the heavy side maybe but that appears to be the trade off for `bomb-proofed` performance. the tent is easy to pitch single handed in very little time and is warm, comfortable and waterproof. All that and it looks great too. | | Scubakev | 04/09/2007 17:45:41 |

| Aztec | Palacio 6 Tent | We have had our Palacio for 3 years. Its been in some severe weather, gale force winds and unrelenting rain for two solid weeks. It is fantastic and is a very stable tent in high winds. I have an idea that the negative reviews are perhaps talking about a different design to mine. Our seasonally wet camping trips are made so much easier by the space in the living area to entertain the whole family with ease until the storm breaks. | | Marie | 21/08/2007 18:22:15 |

| Coleman | Boa Tent | This tent is great. It is seriously lightweight, ideal for expeditions and the quality of material has ensured that after three years it still looks like new with no rips etc - it can also survive the heaviest rainfall. It can be pitched in under 5 minutes. And finally, another great feature are all the pockets in the roof inside the inner tent where you can place your torch to illuminate the whole tent without cluttering the floor. I would strongly recomment this tent. | | Andy | 05/08/2007 08:20:42 |

| Pro Action | Sydney One Person Tent | 24 hours to put up a tent which consists of a big pole a little pole and some pegs............ knob. I use this tent to wild camp lots, to stop the water getting in if you open the door don`t open it fully, it has two zippers!!!!! Fantastic little light weight and worth every penny 5/5 purely because for any drawbacks the price makes up ten fold | | wild boy | 31/07/2007 08:02:28 |

| Coleman | Trispace 8 person Tent | I took this tent to glade festival 20th July 2007 in aldermasten. It survived 2 months rain from 2am till 11am withoue a leak, some of Britains worst weather for years, awesomw . The only problems I had were with the ground was filling up with water and the ground sheet eventually got wet, easy to put up, hardly any condensation with 3 of use all zipps down. | | Anon | 31/07/2007 08:01:44 |

| Aztec | Palacio 6 Tent | Have had the palacio for three years and it is in one word `superb`.Everyone has admired it and we have actually had people asking to look inside and they were amazed at the very spacious interior.The tent is well made and robust,those people that have had any problems can only be responsible themselves. | | mike w wrral | 26/07/2007 18:24:13 |

| Unbranded | Disposable 2 Person Tent | Just spent 2 weeks in the Pyrenees with this tent - mostly with good weather but one night there was a torrential Pyrenean downpour which lasted probably 90 minutes and the tent was fine through the night - is a great light weight tent, I wouldn`t describe it as disposable - it was the same tent used the previous year for 3 weeks in the Alps. | | Tobias | 25/06/2007 15:36:49 |

| VANGO | TBS Quest 600 Tent | We have owned one for three years and have had no problems at all . Pitching it is easy and staightforward as all poles and fittings are colour coded. It has lots of useable space and useful features. As the tent is TBS it is very stable in high wind ( as we can attest to this ). When i first bought it i thought it a tad expensive , however now i think of it as good value . If you get one rest assured it wont let you down . Bomb proof !! | | AC Leics | 15/06/2007 12:59:14 |

| Aztec | Palacio 6 Tent | I`ve got 2 palacio 6`s, 1 green 1 grey.I bought green 1 for £200 in sale 3years ago and I`ve had no problems with it, especially in bad weather. it has got plenty of room,try taking a bedroom out if ther`es only 4 camping. I think its quite a good looking tent. I bought the grey tent for £20 from a car boot, its a belter.The only thing about any tent is they`re over priced in my opinion.[carry on camping campers] | | Anon | 29/05/2007 08:11:03 |

| Coleman | Trispace 8 person Tent | great tent - I`ve used it for two seasons now (2 X 2week trips) - it survives rain, wind and thunder storms and is easy enough to put up with one person. It`s quite heavy (around 23 kg) - best for family holidays when you have the use of a car - it`s still easier and much cheaper than a caravan or a trailer tent. | | Anon | 22/05/2007 07:44:47 |

| VANGO | Diablo 400 Tent | This is an excellent tent, with loads of room and plenty of space inside for our 10 month old to crawl around in!! The additional porch at the front is excellent as it allows shelter to remove wet and muddy clothes in bad weather conditions before stepping into the main living area of the tent, keeping the inside nice and dry, it also makes for a nice cooking area if it is too wet outside. The only negative is because of the size it can be a struggle to pitch with only two people, but if you have an extra pair of hands it will not be a problem. excellent and would really recommend it for any growing family | | The jackson family | 19/03/2007 22:02:16 |

| Coleman | Adrenaline 2 Tent | Super value tent used in all seasons, very stable in high winds[ just add four more guys ] to the fitted storm points, its strange why coleman dont factory fit them but at a cost of £1.99 its well worth the peace of mind, mine has been to the lakes-scotland-north yorkshire-and the brecon beacons all during january and february in real bad rain and wind, very spacious for two and with a porch and entrance both sides will suit all but the extreme expedition hiker,well worth a serious look. | | S,K, | 13/01/2007 18:53:34 |

| Pro Action | Sydney One Person Tent | Having bought this tent on holiday in England I carried it while walking the 970km Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia during October and November 2006. I carried the tent without poles or pegs to reduce weight. During the trip the tent performed very well and was one of my best pieces of equipment. Rain or condinsation was not an issue as it did not rain during the 6 week trip. At the end of the trip the tent remained fully servicable. By adding a couple of additional tags to the apex of the tent I was able to use walking poles instead of the poles supplied. Although often pitched on rough ground the floor remained intact which surprised me given the cheap price of the product | | Doug | 11/12/2006 16:16:32 |

| Coleman | Epsilon 2 Tent | I bought this just before going on Dartmoor with a group of emergency services students. The Met report said expect 70mph winds and I had only put it up once in the garden the day before to check the contents and see how it went up.It was excellent. Two ground pegs in at the small end into the wind,(and it really was blowing) then the two rods in; up it went, dead smooth, guy ropes to really anchor it down and then all the gear was inside, me with it, snug as a bug; less than three minutes, nearer two probably, and it was rock solid. It`s since been up in drenching rain and been dry as a bone inside. The groundsheet is perfectly waterproof but thin (hence the light weight in the backpack), so avoid sharp objects or boot clips. Hard wearing? Watch this space in a few years | | Bro | 06/10/2006 07:45:44 |

| GELERT | Lokon Vario 5 Tent | I have a lokon vario 5 tent, so far we have used it 6 times this year, though the last time we used it wasn`t quite for sleeping in, as i parked my zafira inside it. No, i`m not joking,( i have pics to prove it )i put this tent up on my own within 20 minutes,without struggling, the only fault i can find with it ( but i`m already working on that ) is the ground sheet being in 2 strips, i can see why they did it this way, BUT, it seems the designers havent really tried it out them selves. I am trying to get a fully stitched in ground sheet for it, and believe me, that will be one tent i won`t be parting with. roomy, easy to errect,very sturdy, nice steep sides, and i think it looks great.There`s only two of us when we go camping, so we take full advantage of all the extra room. happy days, and happy camping. you all stay safe now.

| COLEMAN | Bispace 300 Tent | A very good all-round tent. There are two of us and we like our space so we always get a bigger tent. It would be a bit tight as a three man but as a two man the bedroom is spacious enough for some space either side of the our double airbed and the living area is big enough to get a small table and two people with chairs in the event of bad weather.
Its very easy to put up and its advanced 3000mm coating means that we have never had so much of a drip of water inside the tent even hours/days of nasty weather.
Would recommend it especially at these prices!! We paid a fortune for it when it first came out! Its served us very well so far for four years | | Webcam007 | 08/08/2006 21:01:57 |

| Unbranded | Deluxe 30 LED Rechargeable Lantern | Just received this, very pleased with it, very sturdy and shines for hours. Only drawback, the instructions are a bit vague about taking off the top when charging the lantern. We couldn`t manage to unscrew anything and eventually rang the company. Some of them sounded like school leavers, no idea how to deal with a telephone enquiry of this nature, but they did ring us back as promised, although they actually didn`t know the answer. However, this is a quality product and worth the price. | | Satisfied. | 10/07/2006 10:23:05 |

| Royal | Andorra 6 Tent | I just got a Royal Andorra 6 from a local cmaping shop for the amazing price of £160.
This is a huge family tent that has some nice features. The windows have guy line flaps to make sure the water keeps out. Vents in the corner have adjustable velcro opening bars. There are windows in every pannel and one in the roof that provides fantastic light. There is a rear door that can be propped open for complete air flow. 2 huge triangular windows at the front provide a nice light `sitting` area.
The pop up design does need a person inside and outside to secure the poles into the pin and ring strap construction, but its quicker and lighter than the old fashioned frame tents.
Its a great family tent with 3 internal double bedrooms, but there is room for at least 6 more people if they dont mind sleeping in the main tent area.
But the best feature is the height. Its nearly 9 feet high. So no stooping or ducking to get through the doorway. The tallest tent I`ve ever come across.
The tent comes in a sturdy bag with handles and tightening straps to make it easy to lug from the boot of the car - but watch out because you don`t want to be carrying this one too far.
And the most amazing thing is that in the past I have always had to cajole and badger the wife into one short camping trip every year. Since the purchase of this tent she`s taken the lead this year and booked a 2 week camping trip across France. I`m not even sure where we are going!
Good product, good price, good tent... good fun!
