We bought our first proper tent last year as it was at a knock down price,our thoughts behind it were if we were really skint we could still go of for a weekend with the kids for next to nothing.
We purchased the marbella 6 which is made by gelert from our local camping out let and it was reduced from £100 to £79 so as far as we were concerned it was a bargain and snapped it up.
The marbella 6 is a six person tent with two bedrooms and a living area in the middle, it is a dome shapped tent which allows you then to be able to stand up in the living area space in it,with a door either side of the living space you can then decide which door to open depending on what you want to be facing, both doors have a window on, it is of a green colour and has them bendy poles to erect it. The bedrooms are plenty big enough, me and the wife and our youngest son (who's three) have the one room and our two daughters have the second bedroom but there could easily fit another 2 children in with them.
erecting this tent is simple enough,it takes me and my wife 20 mins to erect it fully and i do most of that on my own with my wife just getting in the way. The poles are the ones that are bendy and they fold away nice and neatley,they also come in different colours so you know where about they go on the tent, the tent has all the standard checks to it, fire retardent and has been weather checked. On our last camping weekend in september of last year we had torrential downpours and gale force winds,but we survived it,there were no leaks it was completely water proof when inspecting the tent the following morning we realised that one of the bendy poles had snaped, when returning home we phoned gelert to tell them of our problem and without any quabbles they sent us out a new pole even without seeing a reciept.
we used in four times last year and have already used in once so far this year,and we believe we have already had our money's worth out of it.
This tent is also great because it packs up so neatly into like a suit case which if the car is really full to the top it will fit down by the kids fit behind the passengers chair.
