Hi High Slayer, no the tent was around 7 years old but not been used in a good while. It was drenched through everywhere, dripping like a shower, everything was wet through. We drove from North Wales to the nearest Go Outdoors in Chester and bought a Outwell Palm Coast. Got back to site erected new tent quite easy. Had to get everything out of old tent to dry then transfer to new then take old tent down!! Soo tired now so had to go to local pub for a well deserved pint in Abergele. We love the new tent it is great just need a good shower to test it haha 😊😊

Hi it took around 40 minutes and that includes pegging out fully. The tent is fantastic we really like it. So much space, it is a 6 berth 3 bedrooms but as there is only 2 of us we are using 2 bedrooms as our Intex airbed is huge and 3rd bedroom we are now using as storage so the loung area is not cluttered at all 😊 we love it so much we are still here in North Wales camping. We have the field to ourselves nothing but sheep for company. Raining at moment but our fan heater is on so we are lovely and warm, wine been in Igloo fridge cooling and totally relaxing..😊😊
