We bought this tent a few months ago from Go Outdoors in Wigan (fab shop with fantastic helpful staff)and what a bargain at £99, we got a separate ground sheet to keep bottom of tent dry whey your packing it up and it also protects the tents sewn in groundsheet. We didn't originally go for this particular one but it was bigger and nearly half the price of the one we had gone to buy. Lots of room in it, just had a very windy weekend in Carnforth and the tent stayed put, also took it to Machrihanish in Scotland where the wind was pretty forceful and again it stayed put. Only downside is the draft from the front door at night when it was cold which we blocked off with our cool boxes, going to put some velcro on as suggested above. Otherwise a superb tent, easy and quick to put up. Absolutely love it!

We purchased one of these tents to replace our previous tent which was out of date. What can we say but this little tent is fantastic, quick and easy to erect and loads of room. One down side no window but don't let this put you off. We even brought a Zenobia porch thanks to the saving we made on the tent, and although the porch isn't a tight fit it does the job and gives you even more room. But I am sure with practice we could get the porch and even better fit. You do get a gap down the one the side but even during heavy rain the inside of the porch stayed dry. We are now looking forward to using this tent on our 16 day holiday to the south of France.

Just bought a Mojave 5 Hi Gear tent. Pitched it up in the garden and decided to leave it out overnight to check for leaks.
The rain hammered down all night and we checked the tent for any leaks in the morning. None at all, we were impressed. However the wind had become gale force and we decided it might be best and safer to leave up for fear of it blowing away while trying to dismantle in such strong wind . We secured pegs as best as possible & went inside the house. When we returned to check on it an hour later we found the 3 poles had all split. The tent however was not ripped in the slightest. Now we need to replace poles on a day old tent.
To be fair I think the tent will be excellent and just unfortunate the wind was so strong.

We just bought one of these, when it was on special for £99, and for the price we paid it is a great tent. We were worried that it would have enough space for us (family of 4)but on putting it up for the 'test camp' we were astonished at size compared to our last 6 berth tent which was a heck of a lot smaller. It goes up in bout 20-30 mins easy -three poles the charm! SIG is great though as other reviews have said the front door bit flaps a bit and if cold would let in a draft, but easy fixed with velcro! also no windows means the blue fly gets a bit to blue! one big bonus with this tent is that certain outwell kids bedroom pods fit ok as there are loads of toggles to play with and only minor adjustments needed.
All in all a good tent, when we pitched it it was windy as hell and thank fully tent did not move one bit. Cant say bout its waterproof capabilities as it was dry when we tested it - but with a 3000hh all should be good.

Just spent two weeks away in Yorkshire the tent was amazing. I agree with comments about a window but my husband had a brain wave and he does not have many, he only used two sections of the porch poles and placed them at an angle in front of the side door. This enabled us to have light and air plus a little window, even though we had rain it never came in it was one of his better ideas. All in all one off the better tents we have ever had and we have had a few.

Started camping last year and really enjoyed it. This year with a growing family of 6 decided to purchase a bigger tent. We did some research and decided on a Sahara 6. When we went to purchase this tent my partner and I thought the Mojave 5 was better for us as some reviews did say the Sahara 6 can be tricky to erect and was very big. The Mojave weighed lighter with lots of space in living area for the 6 of us with tables and chairs. The 2 bedrooms a 3man and 2 man was ample enough. The sig was a plus point as well. It was a good price of only a £100.00 that made our minds up so we bought it.
We have been camping twice or ready and have not had the tent 2 weeks yet very pleased, it erected easily fits in the bag great and kept us bone dry with all the rain over Whitsun which was a lot of rain. The only downside was it would be nice to have a window and let some light in especially when the weather is bad.
Overall would recommend this tent excellent value.

Love this tent. Bought it from the new GoOutdoors in Southampton for £100. I came home from work and my wife who is a complete novice had been able to put it up on her own, rather windy and with our 2 boys under her feet too!
Spent 2 nights in it so far, lots of room. Zips got caught quite a bit but seem to be made well enough not to damage the tent. Fitted back in to the bag easily. A window would have been nice and it is very blue, however the tent stayed darker in the morning and the kids slept longer. We didn't notice a draught from the large front door but weather was reasonable for us, cant wait to take it away again soon. Tent heavy, not much of a factor for us but maybe a concern if you need to throw it into a roof box. Really good tent, very good price

First things first, yes quick and easy to put up/take down and this is the first tent that has actually gone back into its back with ease and room to spare! bonus!
Just camped for 1 night on the cliff tops at Flamborough, the weather was very unkind and we have had hail / rain / gale force wind (tree blown down in village) and this little fantastic tent stood its ground, yes it wobbled but it stayed put. There was another one of these tents in the field and this was not anchored properly with the guyropes and that did blow away, but that could have been any tent.
Only negative, I felt like an extra at Avatar it is a little blue inside when all closed up and perhaps 1 window would have been nice.
Last word, loving this tent.

Just purchased the tent this week, we have yet to go away in it, however, we put it up in the garden on Saturday and only took it down today. The tent has withstood hailstones, heavy sharp showers and wind. The tent was dry no water ingress at all. I cannot wait to have our first trip in it. We previously owned a 2009 Vango Colorado 800 DLX, whilst this was a good tent it was too big and took a great deal of time to put up.
The Mojave only took 15 mins to put up and around the same time to take down: what a joy we are totally delighted. When we have our first trip away I will update

Quick update from previous review. We went camping with our Mojave 5 for the first time in the New Forest over the early May bank holiday. We had some pretty heavy rain on the Saturday night, and not a drop penetrated the flysheet. No condensation problems either. Plenty of space in the bedrooms and easy to pitch and take down. My only criticism would be that there doesn't appear to be a purpose-designed canopy / porch for this tent (would have been useful to have one in the rain). Might have to try one of the Hi Gear ones designed for other tents.

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.
