Just pitched. The front canopy is a MUST HAVE in our opinion.
View from rear corner showing the "cuisine" part
Left hand side with an Outwell Jamaica (for our clothes) and the porta loo. Carpet is from an Outwell Montana 6
Right hand side with another Jamaica with food in one half and plates/cups/cutlery etc in the other, kettle & toaster etc on the top, the table top fridge on an adjustable leg table so we get the fridge level, the EHU on top of the fridge, and some other bits n bobs.
My side of the bedroom - the only tidy side, wifeys side wasn't worthy of a photo!
We cook outside under the canopy no matter what the weather is like.
Photo's taken on our recent trip to Austria.
Overall we think its a brilliant tent

thanks for that charlichoo, was looking a getting at neptune TT but had only see the stratus, after seeing you pictures and how you have it set out, NEPTUNE is the TT for me. I was so impressed with cabanon quality compaired to other make, not going to mention the makes as might upset a large number of fellow campers

You said the Stratos is the same size as your tent. Really interested, as have just bought a Stratos and like the idea of the carpet. Did you have to cut it down at all or was it the right size?
the Montana 6 carpet in our tent is only about 15cm short of being the full width but at the bedroom pod side we have it folded under as it was about 60cm too long. The stratus living area is 440cm wide x 350cm depth whereas in the Biscaya it is the same width but only 290cm depth so asthe Montana 6 carpet was 60cm too long for us, for you it is as close to a perfect a size as you'll get.
Millets have been the cheapest for it at £25 ish in the sales but we paid £50 for ours.
Michelle,
I'll see what I can do

Brilliant pics charlichoo, and what a thing of beauty that tent is
I've had my heart set on one for a while but SHMBO has intervened, and we've now got a Dandy folding camper. It does have it's attractions and is very practical, but compared to a Biscaya it's bloody ugly

how long does it realistically take to erect including canopy?
To pitch the tent, fit the bedroom inner , lay the carpet and add the front canopy takes us around an hour depending on the weather. If its hot we will take our time, if its raining we go a little quicker. I don't normally time ourselves, though I do remember one time wifey said it took us 45 mins to pitch.
What I notice more is the time from arriving at the pitch to when EVERYTHING is unpacked, the furniture assembled and I can sit down with a beer - and thats a couple of hours.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
