My wife and I use this tent on extended camping breaks of up to 3 weeks, in the UK and across Europe. It is roomy, uses its space very well and has good height in all areas including bedrooms.

The tent is well made and has stood up to some filthy weather without complaint (5000mm HH). Of course being a tunnel design means taking care to peg it out properly, especially front and rear. Once that's done though, no worries.

The Colorado has an advantage over other tunnel designs because of its straight metal side poles. This gives more headroom further away from the tent's centre line than designs whose curved sides look more like a semicircle. The vertical front of the tent too means usable height and space right to the corners.

And full marks too for the large windows (with curtains) that make it seem even bigger when taking refuge on rainy days.

I get bored with tents and start to crave something new every two years. Not with this though. Have looked again at new tents and see nothing to match it.

Brilliant space for two or three, four or five people though would need to be good friends if they all wanted in the bedrooms. But that's the way of all tents.
