think its SO much cheaper than others this size as its not very tall - only 140cms whereas others I have seen are 185cms so I may have answered my own question - just really want to know if its a rubbishy one that i will manage to kill in the first 10 minutes Wink

Sorry to say not a great lover of Argos tents always look flimsy.

Doesn't give what hydrostatic head it is either you should be looking for one with 2000 + hydrostatic head as this is the pressure it will take when the rain falls so you shouldn't get wet inside.

What are you looking for Vicky regarding size and amount you want to spend?

Vicky,

Another other thing to consider with that tent is that the side pods are quite steeply tapered so may feel a bit squished when you are sleeping Rolling Eyes

Weelllll oh has 2 teenage kids which he is convinced will be camping with us over the summer (yeah right) but hey ho so a 3 bedroom pod would be FAB!!! Price well I dont want to spends hundreds as it may all turn out to be a flash in the pan but I dont want to get a cheapy one that makes it SO uncomfortable so we never do it again - havent a clue how much the going rate its mind you as they vary SO much. I prefer to be able to stand up in the living bit but OH not fussed (which is the best way round as i am 5'2 and he is 6'2" Laughing ) so any pointers you can give me Carroll would be great.
