... errrrr, I have used and put up an Aurora 600 on numourous occasions - which might be diferent to the 800, becuase it was relatively easy and with no problems. it does take two people, as the poles are so long that it needs two to flex and tension them. but we usually have my mates 600 up and running in 20mins!

One of the things I like about the tent, that with two of us, we can errect it without pegging and then move it into the best pitch position (if not windy!) and peg.

A nice tent (the 600), but with a small living area - a definate weekend tent - but I would have no problem owning one.

As said, may be the larger 800 is just too large and more dificult.

Thanks Big Bunny. Don't mind small living area it's the sleeping positions I'm looking at to get 2 campbeds in with space between, which the Aurora would be idea for. 20 mins to put up is what Ilike too!

I have an 8 DLX and its fairly quick to and easy to pitch.I don't even row much with the wife when we do it.Wouldn't want to do it on my own though,its better with someone inside the bubble holding the poles up.Good to put up in the wet too as the flysheet and ground sheet are joined ala Montana.

Oh and its a nice colour.

Hi Dustyboy. Is it quicker than the Diablo?
