Is it a four man tent? It may be, but its a perfect two person tent, with standing room inside a plenty, and two sleeping compartments. It comes with a DVD showing how to erect it it. We had ours pitched for the first time,in the pouring rain in about ten minutes, leaving the inside person to sort out the inner, while muggins stood in the rain and laid out the guys. I think it could be erected in five with practice.
The outer goes up on three long fibre-glass poles. Theres not much else to it, although the interior can be fiddly. Tip, dont tighten the guys up too much until Inside Person has given you the all clear. Our interior remained dry, despite the downpour while we were erecting it.
Theres so much room for two in here - enough for a table and a couple of chairs, plus enough gear for a weeks camp and a cooking gear, and a portaloo. It packs into a valise the size of a suitcase, and one person can carry it. The perfect weekender then, or for longer static periods.
Deceptively spacious, and now cheaper. Comes with a lifetime guarantee, so it should last you more than a couple of seasons. The light-blue colour is very cheerful inside, too.
If you are a couple think seriously about this 4 berth tent. Being able to stand inside it is such a bonus after crawling around for years in smaller tents.
We love it.
