...Anyone got any opinions on these ?

I notice they do not even get a mention on tent reviews - I'm guessing this is a bad sign.

Also, the Outwell Utah does not seem to have a sewn in groundsheet, but a detatchable - how does that work for drafts and bugs - any experience ?

At present we have a tent without either sewn in,bathtub,detachable and last 'summer' it got really drafty - the reason I am hunting for a new tent before we go this year.

Thanks

Lyn.

Hi there.  We just purchased a Utah 6 (tho we haven't had a chance to try it out yet) on the basis that what reviews we did find were all 10/10 (including the ones on this site).  The groundsheet is bathtub, so less drafty than a flat one (and you can purchase a carpet too - how decadent is that?!).  The good thing about having a detatchable is if it gets filthy, at least you can take it out and give it a hose down.  You can buy a separate groundsheet to go under the bedroom area to keep that clean too.

p.s. You can get some real good deals on this tent at the moment as they've just released a new model - the Dakota - so prices on the Utah have tumbled.  Get in there while there's some left!

Not always a bad sign Dozy but could just be that any owners have not done reviews for them.

I was wondering if I could get it up in the lounge. It comes Monday.
