This is a very sturdy tent, it survived awful wind and rain at Easter with no leaks or damage. It is just 4 poles the same length to erect, it is quite hard to get the pins into the holes the first time but then the fabric does stretch making it a little easier. It is very spacious inside, two good sized bedrooms and good size living area. The only thing I would change is the groundsheet in the main living area as it is not sewn in - having said that the sides of the tent have mud flaps and sit nicely on the ground eliminating drafts and rain.

I have recently returned from a camping trip in west wales. I bought a rage 6 DX for the occasion. This is a good sized tent, with ample head room in the living area. I went camping with my 2 young daughters, as a novice camper I bought everything, literally!, apart from the kitchen sink! I had room for a table 3 chairs and 2 active children.

This tent is easy to erect, all the poles are the same length, so there's no time spent trying to work out which pole goes where. There are 2 separate good sized bedrooms. My children and I all slept in one bedroom.

The only big downside to this tent is that the ground sheet is not sown in. The ground sheet doesn't cover the floor area of the tent, between the bedrooms, the front and the back of the tent there is exposed grass, this isn't a problem in good weather. But if its raining heavily the ground does become wet. I had to make sure my children had shoes on in the tent so that they didn't get wet feet. We had a week of terrible wind and rain, it was relentless! The tent withstood the wind and rain very well with no severe leeks. All in All this is a good tent.

First trip using tent and found it to be very good. Survived very high winds and heavy rain over night on north east coast of Scotland. Tent has great head room and two bedroom pods are good size. Ours came with separate ground sheet for front area and I suppose a sewn in one might be easier. Instructions for erecting tent could be clearer, eg poles through eyelets then insert pin into bottom of pole, (instead of insert poles through eyelets with no mention of pin) basic stuff but every little helps.

Overall very happy with tent and looking forward to using again.

We used this tent for the first time two weeks ago. We are a family of four and this tent gave us loads of space. There are two inner tents with sewn in ground sheets which form two separate bedrooms. The living area is huge with amble room for both storage and making use of on a rainy day. Although we only had two days of rain and light winds when we used it there were no leaks or problems. We did have a bit of difficulty in pitching it. But that was probably due to it being the first time. The main difficulty was with a couple of the ring and pin points where we struggled to get the pins into the poles.

Overall though very pleased with this tent.

Brilliant family tent, used many times and is a large sturdy tent that's easy to put up and take down. Very good in windy conditions, the one only draw back is that it hasn't got a sewn in groundsheet.
