Tent Amnesty! : )

[Rolandrova]

Well not as such.

I just felt like doing a stock check as it were...and if anyone wants to do swapsies then please go ahead!

Here we currently have:

Soulpad 4000 ease. Brilliant and lovely we just got back from a few days in it and it poured with rain but it didn't leak at all.

Outdoor revolution Starcamper, 3 person tent - takes 4 children and an adult, if you use the living area, but that's best for garden style camping - probably only 3 people for a proper trip.

It's very nicely made but too small for us now...

1980s? French cotton frame tent, holey and a bit knackered but waterproof and lots of fun. It is orange - the sun shining through it is superb!

Ex army tent (ds1's own)

Cath Kidston wendy house tent which I think technically is appalling but still.

That is all.

So what has everyone else got?

We have:

A 6m emperor bell tent
A 5m bell tent
A outwell Montana 6
A royal 6 man tent
A north face two man tent
2 backpacking tents that I do not know the make of.

And a teepee in the garden
And a sunshade tent thing for the beach.

We have:

Obelink 5m bell tent
Quechua Family Seconds 4.1
Quechua Base Seconds XL (not really a tent - more a sitting room)
Quechua Seconds old style 2 man pop up
Gelert 4 man pop up
2 or 3 Eurohike two man tents
An ASDA pop up ladybird tent
An ELC beach pop up tent

Oh I feel better now!!

What are the Quechua like? I have a feeling that is premium brand stuff yes?

Trailer tent
Icarus 600 DLX
Coleman Bispace
3 man tunnel tent
2 man pop up
Coleman event shelter

We did sell a couple of tents as they were multiplying somehow

Quechua are great Easy to use, especially for overnighters.

I have:
5m soulpad ZIG (my 'forever tent')
6man tunnel tent
4man quechua popup with porch
2man coleman popup
2man backpacking tent
2man Halfords bargain tent
beach popup

We use them all, depending on the type of camp we're doing.

We are down to:

Outwell montana 6
Gelert Cadiz 5
and our new addition - Gelert Lunar 2 (for OH and DD2 to use on friday night)

We have given away our Mercury 9, our old RAF tent and our old 1970's frame tent with orange flowery curtains.

I feel so much better now

Wild country Monsoon
Terranova Ultra lite Voyager
Terranova Laser (the one that's now called laser comp)
Terranova Super Quasar
A tarp and hammock
Camper van

mrsP - the flowery curtains are grim aren't they! But I still love the two tone orange.

1. Lucozade freeby pop-up tent
2. Decent 2 man pop-up/festival tent
3. Wynnster Satellite 12 - our HUGE camp with friends monster
4. Khyam WInnipeg - Fab 4 man - 5000HH, can stand up in bedrooms which both fit double airbeds
5. Khyam, Hex-poly Gazebo - ancient and still brilliant day tent - frequently borrowed by friends
6. a Motorhome - with fab fixed double bed and another double in the overhead cab!

Currently have:

Vango something or other - 4 man (2 adults, 2 children) with stand up living space
My IOS III - great 3 man dome, old but very robust
One 2 man tent
1 Bivi / tent thing
several tarps
3 pop ups - 1 Quecha pup tent one (for mini-store tent) one freebie orange one free from Wurth that would stand up if DH farted and one other I have no idea where it came from!

Looking for another tent now the DDs are getting bigger and can go in their own pod and need a bit more space.

Fancy a Quecha combo of some sort

Have also had in the past a lovely orange frame tent, a Bay window VW with awning and an orange survival bag.

All just great to be out and about in.

You lot are serious tent collectors! All I have is a Gelert Atlantis 3 and a Quechua tarp that I use as an awning. Suits us perfectly and is very quick to put up and take down.
