Hi campers.

With the discovery of a horrific tear  in my old Wynnster Satellite, I decided to buy a new Gelert Alaska 8 Tunnel tent.

I have always had dome tents before, but I was taken with how much headroom you get in a tunnel.  Can anyone endorse these type of tents? (Gelert in particular)

The seamwork and pole harness's look well made, the only doubt I have is the seemingly excess material which will inevitably flap and cause sleepless nights?!?

We have a Gelert Lokon Vario 5 and we cannot find fault with it.

If pitched correctly it should have no more material flap than any other make of tent , just make sure each section is stretched/pulled taught and then anchored well at each end

Thanks guys,

I'm sure It'll be okay, even with it's "ring and pin" system!

We're taking it this weekend to unity for a trial run.

Wish us luck
