A comfortable, family sized, tunnel tent that is fast and easy to set up. It features one 3-berth and one 2-berth inner situated in a vis-ā-vis formation. The large living area is brightened considerably by the large double screenhouse doors (a must for exhibitionists). Having external poles the tent can be pitched flysheet first or as one. The flysheet for 2006 is an Outtex 5000 Polyester with 5000mm hydrostatic head and taped seams. The inner tents are breathable polyester and the floor is a double coated polyethylene. The living area groundsheet is a detachable bathtub groundsheet ensuring that drafts are a rarity. The main poles are 11.0mm and 12.7mm Durawrap fibreglass with two upright steel poles supplied for the porch. So far as features are concerned the list is virtually endless: mud/draft valance on the living area; wheeled carry bag; Outwell doormat; Oxford nylon pole sleeves; pre-attached inner tent; ring & pin system for easy set-up; detachable groundsheet for living area; adjustable pegging points; internal storage pockets; luminous, pre-attached guys. Dry Zip system, low light window and reflective patches.
Advantages: Spacious and strong Family sized Tent Disadvantages: Its not an Hotel
...Outwell Nevada XLTent.
A new range for 2007 but we were very lucky to pick one up at knock down bargain price, Three times year our local camping stockists, put a show on, of there goods at our local Forest Park, and the tents that are on display, are available at the end, at a vastly reduced rate.
And we picked it up for Ģ147.00. Including a few extra's.
It was nearing the end of the season for camping, as the weather was getting cooler etc, but see-in my brother and his family also purchased a bargain at the same time, we decided to shoot of the following weekend, for a week in Aberystwyth's Cerdigan Bay, or as we now fondly now it as Tornado Alley.
Considering we had never pitched this tent before, we found it quite easy to put up, Three equal length durable poles provide the frame of the main body, with another pole...

Advantages: easy to put up, quality, size inside, price Disadvantages: size when stored, no porch.
...I already own 2 "normal" tents, but went on a 7 day bike race where i needed to put up and take down the tent 7 days in a row. I splashed out Ģ45 for a "pop-up" tent. The thought of it errecting itself was very appealing!!
Sceptical at first, I popped the tent out of it's bag and pegged it down with 4 pegs.....job done......in about 60 seconds. I couldn't believe it could be so easy!!!! Once the tent is up it is like any other, with an inner and outer sheets (don't go for the cheap single skin ones). It has vent to help reduce condensation, although some did form, but then i've never been in a tent where there was no condensation!!!
The one I have is a 2 man version which accommodates 1 person + luggage with ease and would accommodate 2 people with some luggage.
This tent took on some heavy rain and wind in the 7 days i...

...introduce you to our holiday home - the Outwell Colorado 8 tent. (Don't confuse it with the Vango Colorado 8 which is a different tent)
STYLE
The Colorado is what is known as a tunnel tent - because it is tunnel shaped. Tunnel tents come in a variety of designs, usually with an entrance at one end, or on either side. Sometimes they even have all 3 options! The bedrooms are made up of an inner section with built in ground sheets and insect netting (a big plus point for me!) which hooks up to the outer section via a toggle system. Depending on the number of berths, the bedrooms are usually located at one, or both ends, with a large living area in the middle. The Colorado 8 (as it's name indicates) is an 8 berth tent. Family size tunnel tents tend to have good headroom in the bedrooms and living area. Sun canopies can be bought...

When (if) you read the bible, you often come across characters that pop up only once, and are in the spotlight for a moment, and then disappear again... but you suspect they have more story to tell than is recorded. For example, the story of Joseph (and... more
