 Just have to tell you I;m sooooo excited! My OH has given me a new tent for my birthday!!! YIPEEE!! Weeks ago I was going on about an Outwell Colorado 5,when unknown to me he had gone out and bought one Now I am just waiting for some dryish weather to test it out.With a bit of luck it might even be this year! PS can anyone tell me the size of it, if a campsite asks? Thanks.

I'm sitting here working from home today with UKCampsite on my browser and a copy of the Outwell Magazine next to me. Not being very productive as you can imagine. But...seeing as I've got the magazine:

The Colorado 5 is 3.5m wide and 4.95m long

Lucky you...! See you've updated your 'unit' already..! We've had an Colorado 5 for the past 3 years and haven't found another tent to beat it for us. Happy birthday and happy camping.

Why can't we live in the tent..?

I'd been considering the Vermont XL for France next year, but having read your post I've had a good look at the Colorado 7, with perhaps a front extension. Might be a bit cheaper. Hmm decisions, decisions.

Happy Birthday btw
