By: Beefysmum Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2007 Rating:  Date: 05/05/2008
I bought the 2007 model in April 2008 for £229. The 2008 model sells for £299.
The tent was very easy to erect in 20 minutes with 2 people. It has sewn in groundsheet throughout.
The bedrooms can be left hanging inside to pitch the tent, saving time. One 4 berth room and one 4 berth with a divider to make it into 2 rooms if required. Either of the inners can be removed if not required.
The tent has a zipped cable access point for electric hookup, and a row of velcro tabs along the inside of the roof to hang the cable.
There are storage pockets in the living area and also inside the bedrooms.
There are 2 side doors, one with a rain hood, and the other can be poled out as a sun canopy, and a large front door, also can be used as canopoy to give plenty of ventilation. Poles for canopies available seperately. All doors and windows have mesh screens too. Window curtains roll up from inside the tent.
There is plenty of light inside due to the huge size of the windows.
Excellent quality tent, can't find any faults with it. Would be suitable for beginners and for a large family for long stay holidays.

We bought ours in September 2007 and used it in October 2007 and again in May 2008. Haven't had any problems with it, very warm and cosy inside. Would definitely recommend this tent to any family group.
All that the previous reviewer quoted is correct. When we bought ours we got a carpet to fit inside free of charge and two chairs as part of the package for £279. The carpet is a snug fit and keeps everything dry inside with the doormat which was provided also.
Excellent rating

We bought our Nevada XL from Winfields Megastore in May for £229.00, it came with the bonus of a free carpet and we also invested in a side extension for this model which cost £80.00 from Intertent. The extension gives an ideal place to cook and sit and has two large side windows. The tent is large and airy,inside we had plenty of room to sit around a table and this coupled with the carpet gives a cosy feeling at night. It was easy to erect and pull down, we also bought a 'Footprint' ground sheet which is put down first. This not only gives added protection for the built in ground sheet but it also keeps the bottom of the tent clean and dry which is useful when packing it back into its bag.I would highly recommend this tent to both novices and hardened campers who like a few home comforts when camping.

I have owned several tents, and the Outwell Nevada XL outshines them all, super size, totally waterproof, windproof, spares available readily, separate bedrooms, carpets as extras made to measure, doors in abundance. Privacy guaranteed when needed with the separate rooms at each end of the tent, which can be removed if extra living space is needed. I would not hesitate to buy another if this one failed.
Despite its size of around 27ft, it only took myself and one teenager around half an hour to erect. It took longer to get the sleeping bags and equipment into the tent than it did to erect it.
Highly recommended - you won't go wrong with this tent, if you get chance and this is the right size - go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Loved this tent from the minute I bought it. Was really easy to put up just two adults with 2 kids running riot.
The fact that the bedroom were already fitted helped a lot as no sooner than we had put it up the heavens opened. So we bundled the kids and an airbed and some games in one room filled the other with stuff and the last room our friends used to put thier stuff while they put their own tent up. Is great for big trips we went with 2 adults and two kids first time and used the spare room for the loo and storage. Second time we went had 4 adults and 3 kids a camp kitchen, loo, wardrobe etc and still room to sit round at night. Withstood some pretty gusty winds in Morecambe and the rain too. We added a vango sun canopy to gain an eating area in the windy raining times this went really well with the tent. Found the same problem as another user with zipping it up at night due to the brow pole pulling the zips tight but found it only a very minor problem. Love the carpet very warm. Also highly recommend the footprint no more folding up mucky tents to go home. Definitely recommend this tent for families if you can get hold of one.

Purchased recently as an upgrade from our ' cheap see if we like camping halfords tent' have pitched the tent this weekend ready for a trip next & absolutely love it! Extremely roomy and a huge living space we have also got the L side extension which will only add to this tent, carpet gives it a very luxurious feel, took about 30 minutes to pitch on our first attempt so hopefully we will get quicker from now on. Would not hesitate in recommending this tent.

I just got one of these and took it on its first outing. I managed to break one of the poles putting it up but thankfully there was a spare, so after much fiddling around rethreading the elastic it was ok. The tent withstood a lot of wind and heavy rain, it didnt leak but felt like it was going to take off at times. I had a front extension which is a nightmare to put on as its designed for the M model so doesn't fit properly, but managed to tie it on and it was OK. The tent is huge and we sat 10 people inside comfortably. Some of the plastic pegs are flimsy and break or bend. All in all a good tent and am happy with it . But if I had extra money to spend I would get a Vermont XL instead for the sturdiness and the zipped in porch area.

We absolutely love this tent. There is loads of room in the living area with lovely floor to ceiling windows which give lots of light. The main sleeping quarter is on one side of the living area and the other, with a divider in it that can be taken up, is at the other side. We easily fit our large queen size Coleman bed in the main sleeping quarter with plenty of room to spare. There are lots of pockets in the sleeping area and the living area for storage.
We have the extension which provides plenty of space for our camp kitchen and somewhere to leave shoes etc. We also have the carpet which I wouldn't be without and the footprint.
We have camped three times in this now. It has withstood being blown across a campsite (Don't ask!) and one of the worst storms I've ever experienced in France.
The only negative thing I can say is that it's a shame the extension doesn't have a zip down front to protect what's under it from the elements.
We have two children and it has been plenty big enough for us all plus their friends who always seem to end up sleeping in it too. If you can find one grab it!

We bought this tent 2 months ago from Winfields, and used it last week for the second time. Really easy to put up, and there's loads of space inside.It came with the free carpet which gives a cosy feel when inside. The weather was very rainy, but the tent did not let us down at all. Cant wait to go camping again!

Our first tent and would not hesitate to recommend it at all. Put it up in the garden- took 40 minutes first time and getting quicker each time- down to just on 25 mins now- two adults with a toddler round our ankles! Had it up in pouring rain and no leaks at all- with the extension out front it was great to leave the big front door open and be able to walk in and out without wetting the carpet. Would highly recommend getting the footprint and carpet too. The foot print means that you can plan exactly to the cm where you are putting the tent and the floor of the tent stays cleaner and dryer- its much easier to dry the footprint than the entire tent if the ground is soggy. I loved the zip between the bedrooms as I could just slide my hand through from our 'bedroom' to the toddlers to retrieve lost blankets etc- and even pull him through to us early one morning so he went back to sleep- great idea Outwell! One slight issue we had was that the electric hook up was on the opposite side of the tent to where the little zip for it is and our extension was not long enough to go round. We just slipped in under the other door, but one on each side would be good. The extension made a big difference at night too as we could sit under it and still be outside, but the sides provided a great wind break so it was not so cold. So the front door- unlike the side doors- could be opened without dripping in onto the carpet. We want to buy two extra poles and guy ropes for holding the doors up but we had sort of expected that to be included (at this price). All in all though we loved staying in it and having the space to sit the whole family down at a table for breakfast inside in the pouring rain was fantastic!
