Hi Gear Corado 6 - any good?

[edwardcullensotherfairy]

Hi all,
I've come across this tent second hand with a load of extras (all of which we need as we're newbies and starting from scratch with equipment!) and just wanted some honest opinions really. The canopy is being sold with it, and I was thinking of getting the footprint for it too if I buy it.
Has anyone got/ever had one of these tents? Was it any good? We're definitely camping in Wiltshire in July for 3 nights, and might camp in North Wales in May/June,so weather could be, well, anything!

TIA

Ooh thanks Karen, I love UKcampsite! Didn't notice the corado reviews before, thanks.

We have one! We got it the year before last. It is brilliant and I LOVE it - it's lovely and spacious inside, and the attached canopy is fab, big enough to fit a picnic-style table and our kitchen stand thingy.

However, the only negative thing I find with it is that it takes ages to put up and take down again (about 45 mins which is too long in my book!) - we mostly do 1 and 2 night trips and it was proving far too much effort for such short stays, so we ended up buying a Quechua pop-up tent as well, which we ended up using more than the Corado last year. But if we were to go away for 4 nights or more the Corado is brilliant - we're thinking of taking it to France this summer.
