Hi - after far too much time trying to find the perfect tent, I finally took the plunge and purchased my SV8 this week and no sooner said than done, had our first family try out in the back garden this weekend.

Having read the many reviews on here about poles snapping, water leaking, condensation, poorly fitting internal bedrooms etc, in addition to these my main concerns were ease of setting up and packing away, having lots of available space for all the usual stuff that comes with a family 2+2.

I have to say that the SV8 more than met my hopes and expectations and experienced no problems at all. Very easy to set-up and pack away and tons of room.

We're off to the Old Barn on the Isle of Wight for a week later in the month for the real acid test so will report back then.

Glad to here that your pleased with your Sun Valley. It's a great tent (despite the problems I and other owners have had with them!)

Enjoy your first camping trip with it.
