Had one and used it once. As a large tent (for my uses anyway) I thought it was brilliant and can't find a bad word to say about it. Solid, stable, straight forward to put up, very waterproof, very quiet, just great actually. If you need a 6ish berth and have the chance to get one of these don't hesitate.

We bought ours on ebay. Only used ONCE. We have a small child a huge Labrador and all the paraphernalia that comes with that. The tent is big enough for us to eat / live in doors if the weather is damp and late season when the evenings become dark early and cool. The dog even gets a room of his own. Perfect for us and a MASSIVE upgrade.

Very spacious tent which My wife daughter and I can set up completely (including table,chairs beds etc) in about 45 mins. We use side pod with second entry as the Kitchen/store area. Daughter uses other side pod and we use the biggest one but remove inner as the inflatable bed bit bigger than the space. Built in groundsheet a bonus plus we use footprint and carpet which makes it that bit cosier. Due to large living area it does cool down quite quickly at night but at 6'2' tall I'd rather that than have to stoop all the time. Daughter has used tent in garden for sleepover and has held 10 teenage girls and all that goes with them no problem.Even if it does rain tent dries really quickly which is a bonus. Colour coded elasticated poles make life really easy when pitching. Fits back into carry bag as well which some tents do not. Definitely a good family tent. Some sites charge extra because of the size but I have not had any problems to date. Will fit on a standard elec hook up pitch.

The first time we put up the tent it took us around 2 hours to work it out. However, we are new to the big tent scene so bear that in mind. The only other tent I put up before was a 2 man dome tent. It's a spacious in the living area. I'm 6ft3in and can stand up with no problems. The bedrooms are ok. Downfall is they slope down quite a bit so if there's two in each pod, you may get pretty squashed between the pod and whoever is next to you. The pods to the side aren't as bad but the pod at the top really does slope down. No idea why this is the case. Also, putting up the tent(now 3 times) we can never seem to get it shaped correctly on the 2nd entrance where the top bedroom pod is. Not sure if this is a fault with the older version(We have the non sewn in groundsheet) or we are just putting up incorrectly. Other than that, the 5 night stay we just had was great. The park was pretty open spaced so it was pretty windy and the tent had no problems. I'm looking forward to our next camping trip in it.

I bought this for a family camping trip. The kds loved it as they had their own rooms, I have four girls.
Large living space was great as they were able to move about with freedom. Loads of space for cooking and eating.
As we live in the wettest place in the UK. Northern Ireland. It withheld a washed out August Bank Holiday and kept us dry. Torrential rain did not make its way in and will be using 'THIS A LOT IN THE SUMMER'.
The only downside is the rear entrance that doubles as a bedroom. The wife and I used this and it did get a wee bit draughty. The tent does lose heat at night as well. Other than that a good all round family tent.

Great tent, really easy to put up about 30 min in the rain, and it was our first time, the living space is great we had 7 around a table and a cooking area (it was raining and did not leak), the sleeping pods could be a little bigger, but the entrance is great as you can have a wet and dry area. Plenty of vents and light.

We owned this tent and have just sold it and upgraded to a Hi Gear Zenobia.
The tent has a lovely huge living area, a nice porchy area and 3 bedrooms - but the bedrooms were the reason we sold it!
You can fit 3 children in each room comfortably, or 2 adults. BUT one adult will wake up with a face full of tent due to the sloping pod. I have woken up damp many times!
Really easy to put up, we got it down to 30mins in the end and packs back up really easy as well. We had the model which didn't have the sewn in groundsheet and I would prefer to have one sewn in.

Bought the Colorado 600DLX last year, and did the back garden camping expedition - two hours to get the tent up - thankfully the neighbours were away! Luckily we've now got it down to less than 45 minutes in fine weather.
When we first took the tent away we encountered our first problem - the size, although we've not been turned away from anywhere yet, we've not been on any very busy sites that rigidly enforce the C&CC size rule, something to be aware of when looking at new tents.
The lack of a sewn in groundsheet makes it difficult to line up the toggles and makes the tent prone to draughts, I believe the newer models have a SIG.
It can prove to be a little difficult to get everything pitched correctly - a little too far over on one side makes a big difference when it's blowing a gale and there's torrential rain.
The living space is good, very light and airy - the colour does help here. However opening the door in the rain leads to water dripping in to the entrance - a separate porch would be better, one is available as an extra.
The pods are not quite roomy enough - the person against the wall does tend to get a face full of nylon if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction!
We've recently come back from a very wet few days in the lakes - we had a few problems with water ingress around the areas where the pods come from the main dome - maybe some sealant would help.
Packaging is good, there is ample room for stuffing all the canvas away.
All in all a good tent, but not a great tent.

Excellent tent plenty of living/dining room sleeping pods not too big but that keeps the heat in at night. Takes us 20 minutes to pitch when your used to it and the only fault with the old model is it as a riser ground sheet but the new model has sewn in. Cant wait to get one / never had a problem with this tent. Great family tent and most tents say 6 man but you cant get 6 in there without being on top of each other - I'm talking 2 adults and 4 teenagers. We were camping in wales in this tent when they had a very heavy rain and not once did this model of tent leak or give way in the wind.

We bought this tent for our first family outing. We have a two year old daughter and my partner is 6 months pregnant. The tent covered all of our needs. After a bit of practice, I could pitch the footprint and tent on my own letting my partner waddle to the park with our daughter. The tent is firm, secure, well made and keeps the bugs out. I set the tent up with the rooms inside prior to our adventure, making it that bit quicker too.
The rooms are neat to the point of being cozy. I like this and we got our double mattress in no problem. The youngster loved her little room in the 'mini house' and the whole experience. I would suggest that calling it 6 'man' is a bit tight, so I would say 2 adults and two kids comfortably, three couples etc, but I wouldn't expect larger kids to share a pod.
Very good quality tent that ticked all our boxes.
