We have one and I generally describe it as a medium sized dome tent - and also cheat a bit and say its a five man. Well it may officially be an 8 man but have you tried getting 8 people in it? I very much doubt they'd fit.....

A quick google brings up a private seller on ebay who lists the dimensions as 6.5 by just under 5 metres. I haven't checked this (we meant to take the tape measure this weekend, but forgot) but it seems about right. Why not just tell the site the dimensions and see what they say?

I haven't had to have a big pitch, or pay extra, so far. When you compare it to some others out there, it's not big at all really!

Thanks

Excellent company!

I also bought one of these tents and I have no problem with it at all.

I have recommended to all friends and family.

A+ from me!

The only problem I found with this model is the outer doesnt go all the way down to the ground, so you have a huge gap for wind and rain to get under.

Glad i sold mine on...

Becks.
