I bought this tent in August as my first tent and replacement for a five berth caravan . After many sleepless nights worrying about pitching we travelled to Helmsley for the bank holiday weekend . We shouldn't have worried , the tent took me and my wife no more than an hour to pitch and set up and this was our first time . The tent is massive , we're a family of four and we had much more space the in our old caravan . The first night we had very heavy rain and strong wind . We got up the following morning expecting the worst but it was bone dry and still stood perfectly . Getting the tent back in the bag was a challenge but I'm sure this will be easier with practice . All in all this tent is fantastic !

Upside !I bought this tent in march 2012 & used it twice at Reighton sands. I was very impressed with it as it stood up to some very strong winds which is renowned for at Reighton. Easy to put up & take down but needs to be rolled very tight to get it back into bag. Loads of room & the canopy great for cooking in when raining, Has plenty of ventilation.

Downside! Some of the stitching is poor especially on the tags where you hook up the bedrooms plus the window curtains could do with more velcro but over all, a nice tent.

Hi, just been away in our new corado 6 tent, its fab, we loved it, also bought the canopy as well and it makes such a difference to the outside area, once up the tent never budged even with some wind and rain, would certainly recommend this tent to anyone, it is huge with lots of space in the living area and bedroom area, best tent we have owned

I recently bought one of these after returning my last two smaller tents. I originally wanted to get an Outwell tent however saw this on sale and thought it was too good to pass up for the price. It is heavy to carry however it is a big tent so it is to be expected. The tent itself is easy to put up it takes me about 20 minutes and I have only put it up 3 times. Inside the tent is very spacious and the built in canopy is a great place to cook and sit if the weather is not too nice. The tent is easy to pack away and stands up to all weather thrown at it, I would highly recommend the Corado 6!

We bought this tent this year as our old dome style tent was getting a bit tired. We first tested it in Wales in June and had full on serious rain. It coped really well with a little bit of leakage over the windows. We have now just returned from 2 weeks in France where it has stood up to some serious heat! It is a fantastic tent and I am really pleased with it. There is so much space as there are only 3 of us and we have room for a table and chairs and a blow up sofa! The bedroom pods are quite spacious too as we can even fit our queensize blow up bed in it (just!) We use the vary spacious porch/built in extension as our kitchen and even when it was pouring I was able to cook in relative dryness and comfort. The tent is very easy to pitch and strike and we have managed to get it back in the bag every time. The only thing that I am not sure about and I need to check out is the guy ropes are tethered with 3 strings and do not seem to stay taught very well. The zips are also a bit cheap and tricky and have a tendancy to catch on the overlaps. You must also make sure that you shut the doors before you peg out the guy ropes. The velcro is all a bit cheaply and shoddily attached too however for the money (Ł300) it is a great tent and I would definitely recommend it.

We took our tent to Gateway Holiday Park in Llanelli with the son and his wife and the two children both under two and they had lots of room to move around once the tent was set up.

I would really recommend this tent to a family and if you don't want use the bedroom divider you could easily fit more in !

One lil hiccup was the entrance door don't secure neatly we applied velcro and it kept the cold air out then . Very spacious otherwise no problems at all !

Cant wait for our next adventure !

We purchased this tent the end of last year. Sent 6 months worrying about erecting it and we put it up within 1/2 hour and we are both over 60 so to us it is fantastic. Simple easy instructions and great size. We had particularly bad wet and windy weather and we slept like babies. No problems whatsoever. Would recommend it to anyone.

Well we absolutley love this tent, we are a family of 4 an it is so spacious. As previously mentioned we have had some roblems with leakage at the seams however a quick reseal soon solved it. We have been battered by rain, sleet and high winds and it has stood up to the lot. When we camped at Easter the temperatures were sub zero and the tent did feel cold (mainly coming through the front door). The poles are very heavy but as I've said we have had the tent up in some very strong winds and have felt very secure. Plenty of space for a grown up family of 4. We have the canopy extension and use this for cooking and eating, the joy of this is you can sit out side whatever the weather and arent exposed to the elements.

This is our 'big tent' which we have had for a few years (darker shade of green) - we got a bargain for the tent and porch together and because of the bargain price chose this rather than fork out a fortune on an Outwell. Great tunnel tent with loads of room, if you are camping in colder weather its difficult to keep the tent warm as its so big. The canopy is a great cooking area and is ample for a family of four; once you get the hang of it its pretty easy to put up / down. Only downside for me was overall quality and absence of extras as mentioned in previous comments, especially the zips - closing the front door has always been a pain and its get draughty due to design. I also wish the front door had an insect net as per the side entrance, although this may have been improved on later models. Overall a really good tent but with the price increase I have seen over the past 3 years I would, should I be buying this tent now, seriously consider adding little bit extra and investing in an Outwell.

I would buy this tent again but would wait until the offers come around to make it worth while; I would also certainly invest in the canopy if your are buying this tent

I love this tent, loads of room for the four of us, especially with the canopy extension on, which makes the outside space the same size as the living area. We set up our kitchen and table and chairs under the canopy, which saves the tent becoming full of cooking smells etc.

We had the bedrooms as one room with the divider zipped out so the kids weren't alone and it easily accommodated our double airbed and a single and also a travel cot for the youngest.

In terms of pitching, I did this on my own in about 45 mins (1 hour after guying out) while the missus looked after the kids.
