Quick and easy to pitch. This design is a real pleasure to work with.
Lots of living area and as much daylight as you require thanks to the huge window space.
Along with the footprint groundsheet, wall to wall carpet and sewn-in floor the tent feels very cosy indeed.
Used the awning poles from my previous tent with no problems.
Had a visit to an Outwell tent display at Ambleside where the lads had added a Michigan front extension to the Carolina 3. Have to say it looked very impressive but I'm going to wait and see if Outwell come up with an awning specifically made for the Carolina if not then I will consider the Michigan.
Highly recommend this tent for the family. It may have just the one bedroom but the living area can easily double as an additional bedroom as it too is completely sealed from the elements and has loads of space.

Have just bought one of these and used it for the first time last weekend. The sleeping area fits two rather than three people, I'd say, but the living area is enormous - and you can stand up. We sat in it on folding chairs during a brief shower and could easily have spent a wet day inside reading or playing cards. There's room for a table too. Have bought a set of poles to convert the door into an awning and will see how that works next weekend.

Just got back from giving this its debut up in the Lake District. Bought it to camp with my two boys aged 10 & 5 ( the Mrs wont camp - no hairdryer!).
I was torn when buying the tent between the Carolina & another Outwell model the Nevada M. The Carolina being a 3 berth but with a huge living area, the Nevada a 5 berth but a smaller living area.
Chose the Carolina in the end and I have to say im extremely pleased with it, the bedroom is cosy with 3 in there but we got our 3 camp beds in without any problems.
My 10 year old then decided he wanted his own pop up tent so we bought one whilst out and it fits snugly at the top end of the living room without taking too much space if you are looking for an extra room - ill post a picture when I download them so you can get a good idea what I mean.
All in all well recommended

This is a fantastic roomy tent. It has the added bonus of two awnings and with 180cm poles makes for that extra space. The beauty of it really, although made for three people, the room in the living accommodation would make it very easy to put another single or even double air mattress for friends because of the sewn in groundsheet. It has many windows with curtains making it bright and airy. The front and side entrances have that extra insect cover which both zip all the way round, that alone is great because it is impossible for anything to get in at night, including rain on a windy day or while out for the day. See the photos I uploaded in tent reviews.

Lovely and easy to pitch. We didn't try it out at home first, so went off without a practice, and still managed it in less than 30 minutes and I reckon we can do it quicker.
Lounge area is huge and sewn in groundsheet keeps the draughts out. This suits us as the bedroom is fine for 2, but we can go with friends in pup tents but have room to congregate if its a bit chilly.
One great benefit is that one of the doors is totally vertical, and therefore avoids the dripping in of rain, when opening a sloping door in bad weather.
A great tent.

Put up by myself although recommends two person pitch, although not really windy at the time I must admit! (first pitch an hour but that was with making set up mistakes. Plenty or room in the living area and a major plus is that you can stand up nearly all the way through the length, thanks to the extended porch pole system and rear sleeping area. It hasn't rained yet but I checked all the stitching carefully and cant find any faults.
