It looks good, I don't have one but it sounds reasonable.

The inly bad thing I've heard about straightforward tunnel tents is about windy conditions.

While we were camping in wales we saw at least 6 tunnel tents that had been blown through, poles broken and tents flapping. They mainly had those neat bendy poles not metal ones. ANd we were in an Incredibly windy place!

sorry

Very exciting! I'm taking dd and dw camping in July (dd's first trip!), and I'm thinking of getting one of these.

Big (for when dc2 arrives), waterproof, and a separate sleeping area for the dc - across the tent from you, not just on the other side of a canvas wall!

only 2 but atill good size. room for food/storage, and we might plan on more dcs!

my friends have just got one, and they tried it out this weekend at a campsite next to our tent so we saw it in action. Good for inside space on a compact area. I have to have a sewn in ground sheet (sig) so no draughts, worms. spiders, etc get in. It hasn't got one of these, it's got a bathtub one that clips in which is good for being able to clean it though. Would def say get the canopy for £25 extra, great for light showers and shelter from the sun.

It's also easy to put up and from a decent company so should be well made.
