Purchased last year in July but was unable to go camping till June2011. It was put up twice last year to get a feel with one overnight stay.
In June 2011 went for a week’s camping the tent was easy to put up even in strong wind. During the week it stood up to high wind and at times heavy rain. My main problem is that the little toggles and attachments on the separate inner sleeping area and the main body are not stitched in very well as most have come away and to make it worst this was noticed as we put the tent up on the first day. The tent pegs are poor quality steel kept bending and would suggest anyone to have spares.
The other point surly they can provide a carpet that can be machine washed rather than by hand with warm water and soap?
As 1st time campers the tent was a great price and seemed to be a great deal. Should I remain a camper I will upgrade to a tent with more substance?
This is a good starter tent with plenty space.

Bought this last week from GoOutdoors for £129. Good price. We camped for 3 nights in good weather. Not sure how it would do in rain or windy conditions. Quite breezy on our first day & it moved about a lot. I got the impression immediately that it was mass produced in China somewhere as not the best quality. Looks good but stitching not overly great and I certainly didnt want to hang light up etc. A couple of window toggles broke off material by stitching. An OK tent for money though and plenty of space for a family of 4.

One of the older models as has not got the windows but otherwise a great tent.
We had a much smaller one before which we used rarely that you would not be able to sit in if the weather was poor but this one has masses of space. Two separate rooms means storage and a bedroom for us (the bigger room has room for us and the dog!)
Easy enough to erect, first go this weekend on the campsite and in only a little over an hour with a blustery wind, next time I would reckon 30 mins tops.
Windows would be nice but having the doors all round was grand, lots of shade and an all round view!

We love this tent, we've used it 3 times now and its been fantastic. Its really easy to put up, takes 2 of us to get it up right if its a bit windy but once the corner pegs are in its a one man job. Which is great as we have 2 young kids that need an eye kept on them! The front porch is big, we've been away with friends and managed to comfortably get 4 adults round a table with all the doors shut. We did manage to get all 4 of in the 3 person compartment (it was a freezing cold night and we thought it might be warmer if we were all in the one side).

Just took the tent on it's first outing after nearly 12 months. The tent is ace! It's really spacious inside and was fairly easy to erect. The only problem we had was one of the hooks used to connect the smaller bedroom into the tent broke but the room was still usable.
The first night we stayed in the tent there was blustery gales and the tent stood up to it with no problems. On the second night the wind went from blustery gales to extreme wind. The tent stood up to this as well, event though it looked like it was going to blow in at one point. Can't wait for the forthcoming porch, should make it even better.

We bought this tent last year after some consideration, this is the first real tent that we have bought and we wanted something that would offer us size and comfort, My husband is 6ft and it was important for us that he could stand up in the tent without any problems and we wanted two bedrooms, one for our things and one to sleep in as well as a decent size living area, it was also important to us that the tent had a fully sewn in ground sheet to stop any draughts and creepy crawlies coming in and we achieved all of these things by buying the Mojave 5, it is large, spacious and airy.
The tent is quick and easy to put up and pack down again, once it is packed away in its bag it is quite heavy to lift but it has a lovely strong bag to keep it safe in. There are little zip sections to feed the EHU cable through into the tent without creating any gaps or leak holes.
When we bought this tent we didn't really think about what would happen if it rained a lot, we were told this tent would with stand heavy rain without any leaks and thought that was all we needed however having now camped in it in the rain we have realised the down side to this tent is that it has no windows, something it appears hi-gear have rectified with the new design. Without any windows and continual rain you shut down all the flaps and you feel very shut off from the rest of the world which isn't very nice if it rains for ages, also we found that as you went into the tent when it was raining, half the rain seemed to come in with you as it dripped of the flaps and into the tent, this could have been rectified with a little door canopy or with a porch attachment (again something that has now been rectified)which we will definitely be buying.
Overall though we love this tent and feel it offers very good value for money, and once it is all set up we think it looks the business. Gelert accessories can also be added to this outfit for a cheaper cost than the hi-gear ones and they are the same colour and style as the Mojave 5.

First time camping, first tent, even in heavy rain, and no sealed seams it kept us dry. Suits us a family of 4. Nice and roomy, lots of space for the kids to play when the weather was bad. Looking forward to buying the extension when it comes out. All in all really like this tent, but then it is our first.

We love this tent. Having sold our caravan last year we wanted a tent that would still give us plenty of room. I went to go outdoors to look at all the tents and this one screamed out at me as being the best value for the size.We tested it for 5 days at Harrogate and loved it. It went up really easily. The sewn in groundsheet was great. The bedroom pods had plenty of room for the 3 adults that went and there was a decent sized living space for us all with plenty of windows. I thought the little zip at each side to admit an electric hook up cable was a great idea. Now I just want the carpet and porch and I'll be happy

After buying and trying a few (4 actually) tents last year, this has got to be the best I have had. I needed a tent that would fit myself and 3 kids, but that could be pitched by just myself, whilst keeping an eye on the kids. After a quick trip to Swindon GO, I came back with this.
I took it away for about 7 short breaks last year, it took about 20 mins to pitch by myself, has to be the easiest tent I've ever done, and stood up to lashing rain, thunder and a lot of wind in an exposed fields in Cornwall and Wiltshire ! it also coped with 3 lively children being kept inside during a storm ! and the best part was there were no leaks.
I bought the carpet to go with it, a bit of luxury, but it does make it a great and very warm family tent.

Bought this tent last summer in the GoOutdoors sale ready for our last big camp of the year. LOVE IT! simple as that. We go away with a child and 2 dogs so the tent design is perfect. The sewn in groundsheet and secure fastening of the front opening meant the dogs were well contained throughout the night which is paramount as we no longer have to take a dog cage for them to sleep in. Also the bedroom designs mean our son gets a single mattress plus room for all his junk in the smaller bedroom pod and we get double mattress plus standing room in the larger bedroom pod. The tent is easy to erect - even on my own it was possible. It is well built and withstood some harsh weather last year when we took it out. Not one dripping seam or zip! I would love to get the fitted carpet this year and will be looking into the porch for it. Our tent didn't come with the windows which seeing the windowed version is a bit gutting hence the drop in a point for my rating. Considering we only paid £115 quid for the tent it is a fantastic purchase for me - well worth it!

Manufacturer's Description
Easy to erect, easy to dismantle, and offering generous living space, the Mojave 5 is a great choice for families wanting comfortable, fuss-free camping, or couples wanting extra space for storage and fun.
It pitches outer first, with separate 3 and 2 person rooms that clip in to the underside.
With taped seams, a sewn-in groundsheet and completely waterproof outer layer (3000HH), you can be sure of total protection from rain and draughts.
The poles are angled to give you maximum headroom throughout the tent, so no need to stoop when you're inside. The pole sleeves have slick inners to make pitching the tent quick and easy.
In warmer weather, the breathable inner and 2 side doors with full mesh panels give you superb ventilation and allow plenty of light into the tent. The large front door can be extended out as a canopy, using the steel porch poles, offering shelter from sunshine or rain.
It has bright and reflective pre-attached guylines to keep it stable and secure, and more visible in the dark. There's also a electrical cable access point allowing you to use appliances inside the tent with the minimum of fuss.
A practical and versatile option for families, group campers or anyone who needs comfort and breathing room when out in the wild.
